If you just want to play the Stage via the keyboard of the Keystation, using the global channel might be the way to go (it is also convenient to test if you've set up the Keystation correctly). You can set the global MIDI channel, but also the MIDI channel for the different sections. For example, setting the synth sections of both parts to MIDI channel 1 is like turning on both synth sections on the Stage and enabling both parts - both section will sound out when you hit a key. With the other settings you don't have this issue. If you then also set the Dual KB Channel to MIDI channel 1, neither piano section will receive MIDI data via MIDI channel 1 anymore (the Dual KB setting gobbles it all up). So if you set the piano section for part A and part B to respond to MIDI channel 1 (assuming Dual KB is set to something else), both the piano sections will generate sound when you press a key on the external keyboard. The 'strange' thing is that if you, for example, set the Dual KB Channel to MIDI channel 1, no other part on the Stage will respond to incoming MIDI data on that channel. The 'Dual KB' functionality nordic mentions is a bit perculiar, in that it specifically is meant to be used as a second manual for the organ section. What you need to do depends on what exactly you want to achieve, but in general you need to make sure that the MIDI channel on the Stage and on the Keystation match.
