That's really a shame (and surprising on a modern keyboard!  Given the
relative ease of coding midi control code, it seems even casio
dime-store keyboards have sophisticated masterkeyboard functions these
days... :-).  Do you know if it's a "just hasn't been implemented"
sort of thing, or does the basic structure of the PE split
architecture make it impossible?  E.g., is the keyboard sort of tacked
onto the rack PE as an afterthought, and not really integrated into
the multi-timbrary setup...?
