[A6] Mix Mode and Keyboard local off?

Hi everybody,

I am attempting to set up the Andromeda as my master keyboard for the time
being, and everything seems to work fine in program mode, but when I get to
Mix mode I encounter something strange.  If I set all Mix Channels to MIDI
Out <OFF> and KYBD <OFF> it seems to override the Global keyboard setting of
MIDI Transmit altogether.  I was hoping that the keyboard would send midi
out independent of the mix channel settings like a normal local off mode, so
then I can use the mix channel select buttons as mutes.  As it stands I have
to keep one active with MIDI OUT and KYBD both On to still use it as a
master, even when controlling other synths.

Is there a way to disable the mix mode override of the global keybopard
setting?  So I can just have all mix channels set to MIDI IN <ON> with KYBD
and MIDI OUT <OFF> and not worry about muting my controller when I mute an
A6 Mix channel?  I guess I was hoping that setting local off was a true
local off even in mix mode and leaves the keyboard transmitting midi
independant of the A6's voice mix settings.

I see the value in the flexibility of the set up as it is, being able to
have your controller transmit on any and all channels at the same time is
pretty handy for some I guess, but for the purposes of me and my sequencer,
I hope that there is a way to make the keyboard transmit midi regardless of
the mix channel settings.

Thanks,

Ed
