Turn off local keyboard midi TX

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to turn off the keyboard so that when the keyboard is played, no midi information gets sent to the MIDI ourt connector. I want to do this while leaving the MIDI out connector still pluged in and connected to a sound canvas.
Thanks in advance.

I don't quite understand. How could it receive anything from a powerless source ?

The power to the Triton would be on, I meant that if you strike a key, nothing would get transmitted to the MIDI out. Sorry for the confusion

Never mind
I believe you can. Simply change the output of the TR to be different from the MIDI in on your canvas.
Or change the channel for the canvas, if possible.
TR's MIDI channel is set to General or 1 by default. Change it to 2 or 13 or 8 and try it then.
You can do it in GLobal MOde.

You can't prevent the TR from sending out MIDI data entirely unless you're in sequencer mode; in combi mode and program mode, MIDI is always transmitted over the global channel. The best you can do is go into global settings, to the MIDI tab, and uncheck everything under the Filters side, to prevent those types of data from being sent and received, and play in sequencer mode only.
Why do you want to do this though? If the TR isn't sending to your other device, why have them connected at all? And if you want the TR to send some times but not at others, set the other device to use a different channel than the TR's global MIDI channel, play in combi mode, and have an EXT timbre sending on the MIDI channel that the other device will receive on for combis where you want to send to the other device.

Exactly. I did the same with for controllers.
