footswitch) which allows me to shuttle quickly between the output from yamaha and the nord sounds (as well as layering), that is sending the output via jack to the sound engineers mixer/front of house, without fiddling around with the complicated yamaha p105 midisettings to shut down the internal yamaha sounds and activating the NE3 sounds only and vice versa I am also combining this with a foot pedal switch (. So it provides a light weight (and reasonably affordable) gig travel combination combining the good sound of the yamaha grand with the NE3 e piano's Tweeking a bit with the velocity settings on the p105 gives a pretty good feel on the acoustics within the NE3 (which I don't really prefer but that's personal, but certainly the touch is perfect for the e piano's! I am hooking up a yamaha p105 to a nord electro 3 via the kenton midi usb host and it works perfectly fine. Not sure if your question was resolved but indeed the solution proposed by anotherscott works!

There is also a freeware DAW called Audacity that I have a bit of past experience with, but I don't think they have added MIDI support yet.you might take a look. There is freeware that I don't have personal experience with but is highly regarded ( ).
I use a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) called Cakewalk SONAR, but it is far from free (I use it for recording as well).
software for MIDI Patchbay.I don't have personal experience since the MIDI-OX solution that hasn't been updated since 2011. I use the MidiMan solutions (the cheapest vary between $30-40 new from Amazon) but you can buy questionable ones at Walmart for >$10 (YMMV). you need a MIDI hub that runs off your computer USB port. If you have a computer, you will need to acquire: The most foolproof solution is to route the MIDI through a computer. host.shtml anotherscott Posts: 3283 Joined:, 04:50 Has thanked: 26 times Been thanked: 998 times You could do it by attaching both keyboards to a computer (or possibly to an i-device like an iPad), or you may be able to do it with this device. If you are tied into using the P105, it's more complicated, but it can still be done. If you forego lightweight and/or built-in speakers and/or low price, there are plenty of other options. something lightweight with speakers and relatively inexpensive), Yamaha doesn't make one with the proper MIDI connections anymore, but you could get a Kawai ES100/110 or a Casio PX350/360/560 or a Kurzweil KA-90 or Alesis Coda Pro. If you're looking at new models, and want something of the same type (i.e. If you want something similar to the P105, look for a P35, P95, or P85, they'll all work fine. Do you already own the P105, or is it something you're thinking about buying? If you don't already have it, choose something else. It cannot be done easily, because the P105 does not have a 5-pin MIDI jack.
Please tell me what I need to connect the keyboards and a step by step instructions on how to do it. magic?") but am wondering if a Yamaha P105 can be easily used to play acoustic piano sounds from the NE5.
