EVI Collage Patchman MusicI have two synths connected to my wind controller- a Roland XV-2020 and a TURBO VL70-m. Is there a way to change patches and volumes without using my hands on both tone generators, independently?

The problem is that you probably have both of your synths set to the same MIDI channel (which is required for them to respond to your wind controller at the same time) so they will both receive and respond to the same MIDI program change data (unless you use Device ID which gets more complicated and may not be possible anyway). So I recommend a good MIDI footpedal like the Yamaha MFC10 to send program changes, then line up your patches in the synths to do your various layers and non-layers. Program change #1 might be sax only on module 1 (Module 2 has a silent patch in that location), Program change #2 might be trumpet only on module 2 (Module 1 has a silent patch in that location), Program change #3 might be trumpet on module 1 AND sax on module 2, etc… Actually you could bypass the MFC10 and simply use the program change feature on the wind controller using this method of patch arrangement. The Midi Mouse pedal is also excellent. For controlling volume, I recommend using two Yamaha
