Feature Request: Local Keyboard Control Off (for use as a master Keyboard)

[mangobob]

+1 for this feature. Sequential has already implemented it in the Prophet-5/10 keys OS but not the 6. I'm not going to buy a Prophet-10 module to add on to my Prophet-6 keys when I know switching between Local On & Off constantly is a real flow killer.

Just got the info on GS that excatly this functionality is already implemented in f.e. the Pro3. So there might be hope?

From the Pro 3 manual:

"17 . Local Control: All Off, Key/Wheels Off, On—When on (the default), the keyboard and front panel controls directly affect the Pro 3. When
off, the controls are transmitted via MIDI but do not directly affect the “local” synth (that is, the Pro 3). When key/wheels off is selected the front controls are enabled (so that you can edit them) but the keyboard and Pitch/Mod wheels are off. This is primarily useful for avoiding MIDI data loops that can occur with some external Sequencers."

any updates on this imo essential feature? please make this happen, the p6 would be such a nice master keyboard.

The Prophet 10 and Prophet 5 Rev 4 are implementing already this feature!

From the P10&P5-Rev4 manual: 'When set to “SOn ” the front panel controls of the Prophet-10 remain
active, but the pitch and mod wheels do not directly affect the “local”
synth (that is, the Prophet-10).'

Maybe it can also be added to the P6

That's exactly it! I'm working on something RIGHT NOW where this option would be sooo cool, instead of wearing out the buttons for GLOBALS-0 ...can't wait for the day it gets implemented by the nice folks at sequential!

bumping this - sequential promised a 'SOn' mode for the P6-keyboard will happen, i count on them!

When / where did they promise this? Not saying they didn’t but just interested to know!

Dear Sequential,

Any news on this?

If it's not clear all ready, what people want is a third option in the "Local Ctrl" menu that disables local control for the key bed, mod & pitch wheel but keeps all the rest active (knobs, buttons)

The reason this is important because it allows recording a Prophet 6 performance to a sequencer directly from the Prophet 6 key bed, and then while the sequence is playing back still "play" the sound design on the instrument itself.

If you could please add this small improvement for your customers; I'm sure it would make a lot of us happy!

+1 for this feature , please !

Now please, please add this essential feature to this expensive synth! Even my Slim Phatty hast this (LOCAL CONTROL: OFF, ON, "noKB") - and it works great and leads to a very nice workflow! Thanks!

It would be fantastic.

Sequential?

This LOCAL CONTROL option will change things for a lot of people here! I personally would like to have the following possible: "Knobs Only"

Allowing the synth engine not to be double triggered when used in a midi loop.

Currently if i turn local control off, then i can play the keyboard and most of the controls are active, but any messages that are nrpn's (such as LFO and Cross Mod) don't transmit.

If there was a "Knobs Only" setting there would be a win for multiple prophet 6 users!

FYI - i am using an Octatrack and it does not transmit nrpn's. Sadness..
