The only thing I could think of is that the keyboard might have some way to turn it off as an internal thing, or turn off response to specific MIDI channels from the keyboard, but it's not a major manufacturer so they might do something a bit non-standard.

What model keyboard did you get? It should say in the manual how to turn off local. As far as virtual instruments go, your best bet is going to be to purchase one of the Komplete packages, and a A49 or S49 controller from Native Instruments so you can access the parameters. There are several versions of the Komplete package, some of which only have a few instruments while others have literally hundreds of instruments. I currently own Komplete 12 CE, and I’m looking at upgrading to 13. This package is amazing! There are so many instruments I haven’t even gotten a chance to work with all of them. God bless!

The problem is that it does not have thie ability to turn off Local. Some of its 600 sounds are very good but, under the circumstances, useless. For this reason I am forced to obtain virtual sounds. I foun d an article on the QWS site which discusses Loopmidi and Vsthost. The instructions for using these programs to set up virtual instruments are rather brief and assume more knowledge than I possess. I'm supposed to tell Loopmidi what ports I plan to use. Well, I figure to select Proteus VX as my sound bank, but do I use that as the port name? I'm supposed to open Vsthost in Wave. Well, the closest I can find is Use Bank. I believe I was able to delete the Input port in QWS. That is as far as I could get. I will appreciate any help you ncan offer as to how to move forward successfully with my search for virtual instruments. I thank you very much for your help.
