Re: JDXi Manager - Patch Editor for the Roland JD-Xi Synthesizer

Good to hear about this new version- unfortunately as a Mac user I'm unable to take advantage of it as Wine currently isn't playing ball.

RD-88: Split with LOWER zone as the 'main' voice instead of UPPER1?

This is my first post, and I'm a stage keyboard novice- apologies if I've broken any rules. I'm trying to play a song that starts out with piano, and then moves to piano in the LH and organ in the RH. My instinct here was to create a split with piano in the LOW zone, and organ in the UPPER1 zone, so...
