[A6] Mix Mode and Keyboard local off?

[Mike Schultz]

Ed,
The short answer is no.

One active mix channel has to have the keyboard enabled over the  
range, otherwise you won't transmit squat.  I suppose you could try  
something fancy, like making a silent mono patch and putting that up  
on mix channel 16, which has keyboard enabled over the entire range.   
But then you are wasting a voice, and adding more complexity.  That  
is the nature of the thing.
