is it possible to send MIDI key commands (note offs) as a port specific message? I have a small MIDI keyboard i'd like to set up as a short cut facilitator but i don't want these same MIDI notes from my main controller to trigger the key command. The only work around I've found so far is to only assign MIDI notes above anything i would play on the main controller but thats a drag. Thanks for any replies. Jud

Cable the relevant input port from the Physical Input to a transformer, and set that transformer to change the input notes you want to use into notes that are outside the note range of the other keyboard, or to some obscure CCs or such. Anything that definitely won't arrive from some other source. Cable the output from the transformer back to the physical input. Now set the relevant key commands to use the transformed messages.

I think your method will be more effective for me (as opposed to just sending on a different MIDI channel) as the controller resets the MIDI channel everytime it is powered off.
