From the User Manual of DGX 650, I can see that this keyboard does not have a built-in MIDI port, which is required to control the Ketron SD90 module. You will have to connect the DGX 650 to an external device such as the Kenton or MIDIPlus MIDI USB host to convert the USB port to MIDI in/out ports: http://www.kentonuk.com/products/items/utilities/usb-host.shtml https://www.amazon.com/midiplus-USB-MIDI-Host-Controller/dp/B074NGTGHN I only tested the Kenton MIDI USB host by connecting a keyboard with USB to-host port to the USB 2.0 port of Kenton MIDI USB host, and Kenton's MIDI out port to the Ketron SD90 MIDI IN2 port - it works as expected using the default MIDI channel 1.

But indeed you are right... If you go for simplicity, by the wwy, there is nothing wrong with that choice... If you want the extra depth that combining 2 instruments(👍🏻88key and module) gives you Then just having a single midi channel will not be enough.. Combining a module with a Kronos, montage, modx(low weight and pricefriemdly) or nord stage, adds another layer of possibilities... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net
