Way to change keyboard to send to All Midi Channels in MIDI Mode?

I can't find an option when editing my MIDI templates, in the Keyzones area, to have the keyzone send to all MIDI channels.

I am confused on how to set up a project where I have one synth on MIDI channel 1, one synth on MIDI channel 2, but then I want to use a Multi patch in the MIDI Templates to control both at once, while still being able to control certain parameters within the specific midi channels.

It's not possible to overlap keyzones unfortunately, this would require a significant development effort / re-architecture. Your best bet is to use 3rd party hardware or software to re-route the midi exactly how you want it. For example a quick search online found various options here:

Hi that's not possible, you'd have to duplicate every MIDI message 15 times which would seriously degrade latency and most likely overload the MIDI port. You have a few different options here:

Set your synths to listen to all channels
Use split keyzones (one for each synth) and play the same melody with both hands
Setup some software on your computer which receives the MIDI from the MK3 over USB and re-distributes to two separate MIDI ports

:/ I thought Omni was a pretty standard MIDI feature…maybe I'm wrong ?

Is there a way to layer keyzones on the Mk3? It doesn't seem like it allows overlap — another thing that I assumed to be pretty standard.

Like what if I'm sending to my analog synths, and I want to have one patch that sends to Synth 1, another that sends to Synth 2, and a third patch that sends to both at the same time with keyboard overlap.

Please, please, think about it. Or for the Mk4 I guess. Imagine the possibilities!
