Local off and “Three in One”
other synthesizers: when activated
the keyboard sends data to the
MIDI-Out, but not directly to the
sound generator. This makes sense
when you use a synthesizer along
with a sequencer, and want to use
the synthesizer as a Masterkey-
board in your setup. In this case
the sequencer decides which
machine receives the keyboard
data, and it could be very undesir-
able for the keyboard to send data
directly to the internal sound gen-
erator. After all you do not want to
send the data twice, (directly as
well as through the sequencer),
nor do you want the internal
sound generator to play along
when you are trying to play the
sounds on a different synthesizer.

So obviously the Virus kb / Indigo
also has a Local-Off-Mode (Param-
eter: KEYBOARD Local (Off, On)).
When activated, all the keyboard
data, i.e. aftertouch, the data from
the wheels and from the two ped-
als, is sent only to the MIDI-Out,
and not to the sound generator.

Just like on the Virus without a
keyboard, the Virus kb / Indigo has
a special Local-Off-Mode for the

keyboard, the Virus kb / Indigo has
a special Local-Off-Mode for the
Panel (Parameter: MIDI Panel:
Internal, Int+MIDI, MIDI). You can
choose whether the data from the
control panel should be sent only
to the sound generator, to the
sound generator and MIDI-Out, or
just to MIDI-Out. Separating the
Local-Off mode for the panel from
that of the keyboard may seem a
little confusing and unnecessarily
complicated at first, but it does
make sense - as shown in the fol-
lowing example:

Let us suppose you want to use the
Virus kb / Indigo as a Masterkey-
board with your sequencer and
have switched to Local-Off. If this
mode were valid for the keyboard
and the panel, the data from both
transmitters would not be sent to
the Virus’ sound generator, only to
the MIDI-Out. This would be desir-
able as far as the keyboard data is
concerned, but not necessarily for
the control panel data: If you sud-
denly wanted to turn the Virus’
Cutoff pot to dampen the Virus
sound, the pot’s data would not
arrive at the sound generator, only
at the sequencer. From there it
might be passed on to an entirely
different synthesizer, where it
could cause sound changes that
