So I wanted to split my extra 61 key MIDI controller as stated here https://conductivelabs.com/forum/showthr...82#pid7982
Turns out it's not really possible.
The Layers map is absolutely missing the OCTAVE SHIFT function for each Layer map as stated by @receng previously.
It seems obvious that if we split the keyboard then we are going to need to shift the octaves to play correct range of the target synth.
I would also add to that, that both OCTAVE SHIFT and TARGET MIDI CHANNEL of each Layer map should be MIDI CC controlalable to make this feature truly useful for the split use case. That mean 6x2 = 12 new MRCC CCs dedicated to external control of Layers.
I.e. let's have a 6 octave keyboard on channel 16. Split it into three 2 octave zones with three Layers modifiers. Put those modifiers on the routings going from the keyboard to destination synths.
Setup 6 controllers on the keyboard to the MRCC CCs to be able to change the target channel and octave shift of each Layer.
Now we are able to play any of the 16 synths/channels from one keyboard. And with 6 knobs, we can easily and pretty much immeditely change, which zone plays which synth on which octave. We can even decide to use 2 zones to play one synth and use the third one for another synth.
