Hi, there!

I have a nord stage 3 and an electro 5. My question is can I use a single sustain and a volume pedal to control both keyboards? I heard of a splitter cable option, but haven't found the right one yet. I don't know if it works at all.
Another option is to control through midi , but when I use the extern section I can disable the notes to not be played via the zone select , but I can't find a way to just use the pedals and everything else through midi signal to be disabled. If I change a volume or my organ settings they also change on the electro, which is not what I want. I just want to have a clean easy rig with single pedals.

Is there any way to do that without the use of PC? Thanks!

Splitter cables = NO, you need to use the NS3 Extern Section configured to send only the pedals but not the notes, as you said, but working on a channel different than NS3 Global (or switch NS3 Global to Off); for example set NS3 Global Channel to 1 and NE5 Global channel to 16 (or viceversa) and set NS3 Extern to NE5 channel.
