so i was at sam ash/guitar center today and i spent some time playing the Fusion 8HD--my first time trying out this keyboard in person...and i have to say, i was impressed! the piano is decent, but i was pretty impressed with a lot of the other sounds, especially the synth and reed instrument models.
however, after exploring it for a while and taking a look at a .pdf of the reference manual, i still can't figure out how you would integrate an external sound module or other midi-controlled keyboard into a "Mix." say i wanted to make a split where i had an internal fusion sound on the right half of the keyboard, but then i wanted to have program triggered via MIDI on my KARMA, how i would tell it to assign that part of the keyboard to an external source and provide a bank and program select message for the sound i want on the karma??
i'm sure there's a way, but i couldn't figure it out and if i got this i would want to be able to trigger other instruments with it...so i just want to make sure it can handle this easily.

OH! i almost forgot--i noticed some varying loading times between patch changes, especially when in "mix" mode...has anyone who's used these live had much issue with slow loading times leading to missed notes/cues?
