Recently I started to use my Nord Electro 5 as a master keyboard but with it's sound engine as well.
Let me explain: It's connected directly via MIDI IN and MIDI OUT to the MPC One which is the heart of my setup. The lower part is set up for MIDI channel 2, upper for MIDI channel 3. On the MPC I have separate tracks for both 2 and 3 channels. Then hit the RECORD button on the MPC to live loop my jam, I'm playing the part... but I can hear both the upper and lower part playing as a layer on my Nord.
So after that I need to go to the options and turn off the MIDI local control there. Cool, now it works OK: I can play only the MIDI channel which is set on the MPC (2 or 3). But the sh*t happens when I need to change the instrument or every single sound parameter on the Nord - since I have disabled the local control, I can't even change the octave or parameters of the effects. So after I record the MIDI sequence, every time I need to go to the options, and enable the local control again.
Do you know if there's any option to improve that setup? I just want to have similar thing to what the 'local control' option do, but with all privileges to change all the params of the synth itself.
