What is "USB mode" for?

Hi all,

I have a TI2 keyboard and a Mac.

Normally, I can play the Virus using its own keyboard whether it is connected to the computer or not.

However, if I start some Midi related software, like a Midi monitor, when the Virus is turned on, it goes into "USB mode". A "USB" icon appears on the screen and the keyboard seems to be deactivated. I can apparently still control it from an external Midi source, though.

What is this (seemingly undocumented) mode for? Why would I want to use it?

Thanks,

Daniel

danielb: This is the TI bit of the Virus. It changes its behavior so it can integrate better into your DAW as an external DSP instrument plugin, and optionally as a soundcard.

Hi,

I thought the TI feature was the sequencer mode.

I am talking about something different, which ican be activated without using a DAW.

Thanks. I understand how it works now.

.... except for one thing: Why does does it turn off local control by itself when entering USB mode. This seems wrong to me.
