Roland XP-30 and Ensnoiq ESQ-1 Midi issue please help

[X man Da Legend]

I hope that pic will help give everyone an idea of whats going on here. I sequence on my ESQ-1 (the bottom keyboard) I have my Alpha Juno 2 on Channel 1 (middle keyboard) and I use my XP-30(the top keyboard) on whatever channels I need them to be. And I use my cd3000i on Channel 2. I rarely use my ESQ-1 for sounds. For some reason it doesn't matter what channel I am on on my ESQ-1 it always triggers the XP-30. How can I make it only trigger on the channels I select?

Sounds like the omni is on the Roland. If you need a manual, all Roland manuals are available for free at Rolandus.com (you need to register)

the manual is horribly difficult to read but from what i do understand from it there is no omni mode. its very strange

just glanced at the manual.

Check that you are NOT in GM mode, it will respond to 16 midi channels by default.

the Parameter you should be looking for is the "control channel" and it should be set via SYSTEM/MIDI/ (pg86)

Thanks I think that may have fixed it
