Limiting key range of a midi track

Hi everyone,
I am using Keyrig49 Midi Keyboard,Roland DUO Capture and Sonar LE. I want to play two tracks at the same time, also I want to split the instruments octave-by-octave.
For example,
I want to play a piano sound from C1 to C3 and I want to play the synth from C3 to C5. How can I do that?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I don't think that's possible without a keybord that can be split.
    You can, however, record 1 track with both parts and copy the notes for one part to another track with a different output, or copy/clone the entire track and put a MIDI filter on each to block the notes in each track you don't want to hear and set each track's output to your desired synth. I think...
    Or just record each part seperately on different tracks with different outputs.

    I'm not an expert on the subject but IIRC the keyboard split is often soft synth dependant. At least I think I've read several reviews where they use this as a selling argument.
    I'm not sure if SONAR has any say in the process. I believe it's between the keyboard and the soft synth, but I'm not quite sure.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
