Yes, but that is not so bad either is it? >I have a 'stupid' casio keyboard that i can use as a midi controller but i'm >fairly sure that it will only transmit on channel 1.

If your Casio can't, the X5 surely can as you described above. So the Casio can send on channel 1 to the X5 and play some X5 sounds, while the X5 can send on channel 11 (from 'Out' and not 'Thru') to the module. Not exactly what you are asking for but maybe enough for your needs?
