It sounds like you've figured out most of it anyway, but CDM did a 
write-up on the RB3 keytar that covers its MIDI functionality:

Unfortunately it looks like it's stuck on channel 1 with the exception 
of that drum split mode you mentioned.

How has the keytar been for you otherwise? I have one myself, but I 
haven't done anything serious with it yet.
