Thank you! Actually I am using an external keyboard for the lower manual. I'm afraid I don't understand how sending a MIDI CC from my MODX helps to achieve what I'm aiming for (as it is, the Preset button is completely useless to me).

You should check on the MoDX how to manage external Zones and assign MIDI CCs to MoDX buttons then enable them to send over that zone; see manual or tutorials or Motifator forum could also be a good place to ask, I guess ;-)

Thank you Maxpiano. I like your suggestion, but since I have little experience with MIDI CC applications, I could use some help. In the Electro 6d manual it says that "Organ Edit Lower Manual" is CC 8 and "Organ Preset" is CC 15. It seems to me that achieving this lower manual Preset switch would require the following CC's to be sent successively: CC 8 > CC 15 > CC 8 (last in order to switch back to drawbars controlling upper).

Am I right that achieving this requires multiple MIDI CC messages? If so, is it possible to send multiple MIDI CC messages by pressing one button on e.g. the MODX?

No, you don't need to do that because when you use DualOrgan + "Ext Keyb To LO" the Lower works on a dedicated MIDI Channel (the one you have set on NE6 MIDI menu and on your MoDX to play it), so you only need to send the MIDI CC #15 (Organ Preset) on that same channel, leaving NE6 panel on Upper all the time.

It is very simple. And once you learn how to assign a MoDX button to CC 15, you may even go forward and do more, like assigning the MoDX sliders to some drawbars ;)

That makes sense Maxpiano, will experiment with this. Thank you so much!
