I think I see what you mean now. Sorry 'bout that. So basically you click the mouse on your PC in order to change patches on the channel/track/part that you're keyboard is sending on.

So without the PC, you have to navigate through the S03's menus.

I was looking very seriously at buying the S03's big brother the S08 and for the very trouble you're having, I did not buy the S08. I did really like the feel of the S08 but changing patches on the fly without cut-out is a big need for me.

I play one one board live so I need to change patches in real time with ease. If I used two boards I wouldn't worry about it because I would just switch boards in the middle of a song.

Ya know... it did seem possible to change patches (but very troublesome) on the S08. I was in Multi-Edit mode. You can change patches that way. But you would have to play in edit mode and it's very tricky. You hit one wrong button and you're no longer changing patches but changing some other parameter and maybe even in another part.

Best of luck to ya on this one.

A second board, even if it's just a simple Fatar SL61 controller, would allow you to set the two boards to two different sounds, before starting the song. Then you just change boards live, that might be one immediate solution. Or even, using an older casio or something sitting around for this porpuse. Of course you would need to select the transmit channel and turn local off so as to not play the casio's sounds. Or just keeping it's volume off may do it.

There are a couple cheap 61 key midi controllers out there for under 150. But it may be a waste of money in the long run. That would depend on you.

And perhaps maybe someone else can offer a better solution for your live dilema.

Peace
