Xpantastic!

so, basically, you need a midi controller keyboard, and two xpanders set to even the same midi channel, but, via their zones capability, to make them respond to only a part of the keyboard range, right? so you have half of the keys to xpander one and half of the keys to xpander two...

Wait a sec-

I'm pretty sure the Xp doesn't support this natively- but

If you're KB controller is flexible enough, you can have 1 Xpander configured respond on one channel (or 6),
and the other Xpander respond on another channel (or 6 others).

The Xp allows you to map key ranges into zones- where each zone can be controlled by a specific channel.
I think you should be able to setup both Xpanders to respond to different key ranges coming from the master keyboard.

This probably isn't the ideal situation, but it's better than having to be tied to a laptop & midi mapping software.
