It actually works - phenomenally! The Wave actually only plays the organs. Yeah! :clap:
I would never have thought of that. Thank you hoopyfrood. :thanks:
Now I love my setup even more.
A good start into the new year to all of you!

Turn off global midi on both keyboards, and create a patch on the nw2 with a silent channel that transmits on the same midi channel as your organ, or panel B, etc... this can be set patch by patch and does not need to be a global setting. Best of all, you can use the extern section on your ns3 to initiate the patch change on your nw2. Be sure to turn the zone lights off for the extern, and have it send patch change only. It’s very powerful once you understand it.

PC send and receive now actually work with the Wave 2, but CC messages are still sent and received as soon as global midi is switched on. The problem should be known. Why is it not fixed, it already exists in the Electro 5.

I test the following setting...
NS3 with sutstain and control pedal:
sending progch via extern =>NW2 => ok
sending controlpedal messages to single or serveral laver => ok
play layer of the NW2 via extern => ok

NW2: play organ with the NS3 in dual kb mode => ok

It works fine.
NS3: Midi => Global Ch NS3 = off panel A = 2 panel B = 3 dualkb = 4, CC and PC send
Extern => Midi Ch Usage per prgramm, Panel per programm Midi = 4, device and pedal as requested, send on load = on, MSB/LSB/PC as requested, don´t
forget volume > 0
NW2: Midi: Global Ch = 4, layer channel = off, control change as requested (CC and PC for changing programm

I use the NW2 as 2nd Keyboard on top of a NS2. In my setup the NW2 shall control a Korg M3 module in a way that I can decide in every Program which Layer controls the internal sound of the NW2 and which Layer controls the external Korg M3.
To allow this, I need to switch the Global MIDI channel off. But this then also disables the possibility to switch the Programs of the NW2 via MIDI Program Change.

SOLUTION:
I recognized that also if the Global MIDI channel is switched off, the Program can still be switched by the Nord Sound Manager via USB.
So I reverse-engineered the USB communication with Wireshark and wrote a python script that can switch NW2 programs via USB.
I put this on a Raspberry Pi and added additionally a USB-MIDI-cable to the Pi. With this USB-MIDI-cable I can receive Program change messages via MIDI and translate them to the special USB format that the NW2 expects to switch the Program.
With this box I now can switch NW2 programs also if the Global MIDI channel is switched off ;-)

Impressive. Nice work! Would you mind sharing the code? (I'm about to incorporate a Raspberry Pi into my setup to use https://rocketshow.net/ for backing tracks.)
