Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
This is a really (at least I believe it to be) very specific question I have. I do not have the TI keyboard version yet.
Here's the simple question: Can I just send Note on/off data from Virus TI KB to external synth ALWAYS in channel one, while in multi-mode, and not activate Virus (i.e., use it as a controller, but still have the synth active for sequencing)?
Below is a more complicated version of the question:
I would like to have my setup like this:
Virus TI MIDI out to Spectralis MIDI in.
Spectralis MIDI out to Virus TI MIDI in.
The virus would act as the master MIDI controller, sending note on/off to the spectralis.
I am wondering if the keyboard will always send a note on/off signal to the Spectralis if it's global MIDI channel is set to 1.
I would also want local off, which should make the virus not make sound.
The problem I'm having is that I have the Korg Radias, and despite it being set to Global channel 1 and Local control off, it ONLY sends MIDI notes on/off to the spectralis when the timbre I'm on is set to channel 1.
So if I get a virus TI keyboard, I'm worried I'd run into the same problem, that if I'm in multi-mode I won't be able to just send note on/off MIDI to the spectralis, and have the spectralis control the TI that way...
Any thoughts? It's kind of an odd question, and hard to articulate, sorry!
Thank you!
[EDIT]: Would setting 'Local' -off, 'Mode' -Multi Channel (pages 155 and 156 in manual) accomplish this?
