One thing I have been trying to get to arranger manufacturers attention (and I hope you all try as well) is the ability to plug in a dumb MIDI keyboard, one MIDI channel, no PC#'s, and have the arranger map the splits and layers, etc. to that one keyboard. It's what they do with their own internal keyboard, being able to do it to a secondary keyboard would open out all kinds of possibilities...!
I have to agree with Diki on this one. Having two keyboards is one thing, having them stacked like an organ is another thing altogether. A dummy keyboard similar Hammond's XK-3pro setup is more of what I had in mind. I'm sure the midi controller makers could come up with something that could handshake with a master keyboard; put any needed controls on the faceplate or to the left of the keyboard.
