The more I use my EX5, the more I dislike and regret I bought it for use as my master keyboard to play my 20+ other synths many rack/desktop modules. 1) I have to edit each performance patch to set MIDI transmit channel. Yes I mix and layer in sound from EX5 performance patches with my other synth s...

Ok for now I just connected a sustain pedal and putting a heavy object on it, as I need a continuous tone using only the EX5 as a MIDI keyboard to an external synth module connected to an oscilloscope, so I can continuously see what tweaking oscillator settings actually do.

I know that I can set Arpeggio Hold in settings, but what about just one or more keys without the arpeggiator turned on? Is that really true that Yamaha forgot about this?

I need a mixer for my home studio with 20+ stereo synthesizers. I am limited on space so I need a 48 channel mixer with as MANY, preferable 24 mixing stereo channels as possible. So no I can not use a 48 mono channel mixer as that would take up too much space in width. Alternatively I can use two 24...

I have a related question. Why do the EX5 not transmit MIDI through MIDI Out (A or B) when in Performance Mode? It transmits fine in Voice mode. I can "force" it to do it, if I press "Song" mode after pressing "Performance" mode and selecting my patch, however then I am in the "Song Play" menu and c...
