Hi everyone moved from an mpc one to a keys. Was tired of carrying a controller and the one to shows so started to look around and found a pretty good deal on the keys, so les to carry amd setup is a win. Couple questions though was hoping you fine ppl might be able to answer. I know my way around the one pretty well but not sure if these are possible on the keys.

1. When setting my layers and splits for different plugins/keygroups/out board midi. Is it possible to assign chord mode to a single split plugin? So I could say have my pads on cheater one finger mode while I solo with a lead over the top with my right hand?

2. Same question with the arp. Can I left it up to play my pads on a left hand split while playing and arp on a right hand split?

3. The boaring one.. can I assign different led colors to the pitch mod wheel? Lol I haven't found that option yet.

Lol thanks everyone

No.

Make 2 programs, place one each on 2 tracks, MAIN MENU (unhide with the eyeball), track area, SEND TO, use lo-hi ranges to mark the split on each trck. Use pad perform on the program you want. Play your jams using the track that uses the SEND TO feature. Not what you thought but works as you thought.
