Yes, every program in the combi has it's own MIDI channel selector, and it
has key zone controls. It also has an array of toggles for control filters.
Now I have the 05R/W module, and in the module the MIDI channel settings
control the *input* MIDI channel. I usually have two keyboards. One that
operates on MIDI ch-1 the other on MIDI ch-2. But here I am using the
module as *receiver*. I don't know how the built in X5 keyboard interacts
with the main board, but I suppose the keyboard *sends* messages much like
any run-of-the-mill cheapo 'stupid' MIDI keyboard out there, that is on one
MIDI channel only at a time. Usually the small cheap external MIDI keyboards
send on one and only one channel at a time. So that means that you probably
can't do it from the X5 built in keyboard. Even if you have external
keyboards
that send MIDI into the X5, my guess is that all MIDI, no matter the
internal
key zones, is sent directly to the thru port, and are not affected by the
settings of the combi.
