Oasys 88 as primary sound source with external controllers

I am hoping to retrofit my whole Live Rig to use the Oasys 88 as my single sound source (with seperate stereo pairs by type going to Front of House) - and drive it not only with it's own keybed - but with several other synths working strictly as contollers driving the Oasys.

I believe Tony Banks did EXACTLY the same thing on the Genesis tour where he used the Oasys - but I am willing to be wrong.

I have watched tutorial videos, poured over the manual and am now pulling out my hair trying to figure out how to do what I am SURE can be done.... but I don't know how.

If anyone has any helpful input - I am one big ear. I currently have about a 4 or 5 week break between live performances and it is the perfect time for me to make the change and get used to it before I have to do it with an audience.

Planning on driving it with a Korg T1 for pianos and a Wavestation EX and/or M1 for synths & organs.... & want to be able to play the Oasys' keyboard as well ... all live.

Hope to hear from anyone that can guide me.

You can set this up in combi mode. The 16 tracks can be controlled by external midi sources, so you could assign multiple tracks to different midi keyboards and setup layers, key splits etc for each track.
