Hi.
My keyboardist just bought a Receptor Pro and he uses is it with his Nord Stage 88. I myself am a guitarist but I own a Nord Lead 2 synth which I sometimes use live, instead of guitar solo's. (A lot of improvisation going on live)
The synth engine in lead 2 is amazing but I am playing with the idea of connect both of the NORD's to the receptor using midi. I'm not used to midi that much, know the basics but the main question is this. Is it possible to connect 2 keyboards to the receptor using midi and how do I do it? Do I need a midi merger or is it somehow possible through MIDI thru ?
Thanks in advance,
Ragnar

Not sure if the Nords have a midi merge option but if either does, you'd need to route the output of one to the input of the other then route the output of the 2nd to the receptor. Failing that a unit like the Edirol UM-880 or one of it's smaller siblings would do the job.

Nice.
I think the intent though it just to have the two keyboards control receptor though right?
If that's the case:
Nord 1 Midi Out -> Nord 2 Midi In
then
Nord 2 Midi Out (merge enabled) -> Receptor Midi In
This way both players can play the receptor as well as their own synths using different midi channels.
