Erik: Sorry, but the MX-200 does not have a performance mode :-(
I agree that a XV module can create multi-timbral patches with
no external help. On the other hand, they do not have the extra
64MB waveform memory with all the high-resolution organ and
orchestral voices. Even the MX's hardware is almost identical
with a XV-2020, the "important" sounds which make the big
difference won't be found in any of the XV modules.
I assume there will be a system software update at some point
which will activate the USB port and may also allow to use
the XV editor software to "tweak" the internal sounds. The
system software is in a Flash ROM and can be easily updated.

Thanks! I'll look into the MIDI patch bay idea.
-----Original Message-----
Mark & "jdl":
The MX-200 can play one sound (stop) per MIDI channel. It has
a rotating switch where you can select one of the 16 MIDI channels
and then assign a voice to this particular channel. In other words:
It's not possible to play multiple voices from one particular
MIDI channel. Using a Trillium or a Rodgers with two MIDI couplers,
you can select two MX voices, each responding to a selectable MIDI
channel. Using a "Non-Trillium", you can play only one voice per
manual/pedal.
But I found a way around this limitation by inserting a MIDI Patch
Bay/Processor
between the organ and the module, which can route a single MIDI channel
on the input to multiple MIDI channels on the output (Miditemp PMM-88, a
German MIDI accessory manufacturer; I know that J.L.Cooper had a similar
device in their catalogue some years ago). With such a device, you
can assign multiple sounds to each manual of your organ manual.
I just found several MIDI patch bays/processors on the german ebay site,
offered at around EUR 200 ($230) and I think this is a valuable investment.
