Tyros: Can you turn LOCAL OFF for a single style chanel

I'm currently using my Tyros with Cubase and would like to keep all my Tyros instruments playing except for the drum tracks which I want sent via MIDI to my VSTi (VST computer Plug in instrument).

Now I notice under FUNCTION>MIDI>SYSTEM that I can turn local control off (and thus mute yet send MIDI control) for the whole style. But what if I only want to turn local control off for the Rhythm track only but use the Tyros for everything else? Can it be done?

(I guess one way to do it would be to send the rhythm track out of a sub which is connected to nothing - and mute it that way -- and it would still send the MIDI signal. But that's kind of a backward way of doing things.)

I imagine that you could simply turn down the volume for the drum track to zero.

Hi, here my 2 cents.....the only problem with turning the volume down.....you will be transmiting also that to the midi channel in question via midi.....(controler either 11 ( expression) or 7 (volume).

I just remember that in the Korg PA 60 secuencer, it has a internal/external control, so it will play either source or both, since I do not own a Yamaha board, perhaps is "hidden" somewhere this function.

Thanks Oleg but that would not work. Firstly bc of the reason mdorantes mentioned, and secondly because as soon as you change the style - it would jump straight back up again.

So if anyone knows of any hidden solutions, t'would be greatly appreciated!

BUMP

Just bumping this to the top again. I really need a solution to this - so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. (See my original posting). Thanks.

Hi Chony.
I don't know if I understand correctly what you want to do. My guess is: you want to play a style on Tyros, turn local off, send MIDI to Cubase AND BACK to Tyros EXCEPT for the drums - that would be MIDIchannel 10.
So that would mean you use CUBASE as a MIDIfilter. So if you send ALL channels from TYROS to CUBASE but ALL channels except MIDIchannel 10 back to Tyros, it will play all channels except drums.
At the same time you want MIDIchannel 10 to be played by the Cubase plug-in.
If that's correct you have to look in Cubase if you can do that, not in Tyros.

The easiest way it to route all the "silent" tracks to the aux outs. Use midi to control the destinations sounds, and nothing from the Tyros aux's will be fed to the mixer. Simple - 1*2*3!

Yep Uncle,

It seems that's the only way to do it. That's what I've been doing until now, I was just hoping that there was a better way to scratch my left ear than with my right foot.

Please send a picture !

Chony,
So....what's the down side? You got what you want, and you only have to set it once and forget it, right?
Unless you want to build a dedicated controller setup with midi patch bays and such .... just go with what works right now!
Your ear will stop itching eventually ....

Make you a deal. If you tell me how to post a pic onto this forum, I'll do it.

Shhhhh....... nobody tell him !

Aw, please somone tell me: how do you post a picture onto this forum? I've been asking for months and noone wants to tell me. Is picture posting only for the special people?!?!

The picture has to reside somewhere on the net before you can post it here. Grab a picture from some website, save it and then post it in the same manner as one that you see here .... just follow the formula in the "reply with quote" section.
Know what I mean?
Use all the same jargon and spaces and slashes etc. that point to an address.
