I’ve been experimenting with connecting a second keyboard into my XF (using Midi) and using it to play a second voice. I have (16) voices set up in a number of “songs”. I can choose which instrument/voice that I want on the second keyboard by selecting the appropriate midi channel. I can control the volume of the parts using the sliders on the XF for parts 1 - 8. Is there a way that I can control the volume of parts 9 - 16?

The VOLUME 1 - VOLUME 8 sliders will control 9 - 16 when you press any of the numbered buttons 9 - 16.

Of course, once you do that the XF’s keyboard will play that numbered Part. If that’s not the Part you want the XF to play, once you make the volume adjustment, press the numbered button of the Part you do want the XF to play.

Thanks for the speedy answer.

Thanks for the speedy answer.

You’re welcome.

By the way, there’s another method. You could just press [MIXING], use the cursor keys to highlight the slider on the screen display for the Part you want to adjust, and then you can use the Data Dial. This might seem more roundabout, but it has the advantage of not having to remember, for example, that Part 11 is controlled by the VOLUME 3 slider - you just highlight Part 11’s slider on the display. Of course, it isn’t that hard to subtract 8 from 9 ~ 16  :-) .

I’ve always thought that the Volume slider numbering could stand an improvement. See the attached - I’ve only shown the first two sliders renumbered, but of course all would be done similarly.
