Coupling Manual Issues

When playing a two-manual sample set from a three-manual console, I set the lowest manual to be a coupling manual by connecting it to Input 2 of both divisions controlled by the two upper manuals. I notice that if I'm holding a note on the middle manual, then press the same note on the lower (coupling) manual, then release the note on the middle manual, the note ceases to sound even though the key on the coupling manual is still pressed. I'm assuming that happens because the middle-manual key release has sent a note-off message to the divisions input 1, and it doesn't recognise that a note-on has also been sent to input 2 without a corresponding note-off. The same also happens if the note is released on the coupling manual rather than the middle manual. Is there a way around this?

Thanks!

Thanks Ian! I did a quick search for other topics, but apparently it was a bit too quick. I wondered if floating manuals could be used but assumed the same problem would existing with the midi-off cancelling the note playing no matter how it was routed. Good to know that's not the case. Thanks again!

Hello Michael,

Yes -- floating divisions would give the behaviour you're hoping for. (Thanks, Iain.)
