The title says it all, I'm wondering if it is possible to connect the PK27 to a Nord Stage 3 Compact.
BTW, this is my first post on the forum. I haven't purchased the products, and it'll be a while till I can afford any of them, but I would still like to know some details about the instruments before I make the purchase
Can you connect the PK27 to a Nord Stage 3 (Compact)?

Re: Can you connect the PK27 to a Nord Stage 3 (Compact)?
On a Stage 3, you have 2 organ engines. As the PK27 is a MIDI pedal, maybe you could connect it to the Stage (it always sends on ch 3) if you don't want a 2nd manual - I don't see how you can have both. And maybe, you could use the DualKB function. But I'm not so sure that it would be a practical thing.
Who could tell? Analogika?

Physical connection would require a MIDI merger, like this one: https://m.thomann.de/gb/midi_solutions_ ... 1614483406
But the problem is, as FZiegler says, that there are only 2 organ engines to be played. A workaround could be to assign the pedal to the synth and play the pedals using a sample from there. So you'd have something like:
Panel A: upper manual, no splits
Panel B: lower manual, splitted: on the right, organ engine for the lower ma manual, on the left (first two octaves or so), synth engine for pedals.
Not very satisfactory... but I can't see any other solution. Keep in mind that even if you decided to give up the lower manual for the pedals, you still won't have true pedal tone sounds on the NS3, it would be just the lowest notes of the manual.
