Using Global Mode
Global mode lets you set Local control, the MIDI output, and the MIDI output channel. Additional Global set-
tings can be configured with the Vyzex Venom Editor (see “Global Editor” on page 77).
Toggling Local Control On and Off
Local control determines whether or not the built-in keyboard controls the onboard synthesizer or simply
passes MIDI control data through the MIDI Out port or over USB (depending on the MIDI Output setting)
without playing the Venom synthesizer. If you are working with MIDI sequencing software (such as
Pro Tools), you may want to disable Local control so that you can route MIDI through your MIDI software to
the Venom synthesizer without double-triggering MIDI notes on the Venom synthesizer.
To toggle Local Control On or Off:
1 Press the Edit Button on the top panel of Venom.
2 Press the B-flat below middle C on the keyboard (indicated as “Local” by the Global Key Mapping above the
keyboard).
The LCD flashes “LOCAL OFF” or “LOCAL ON” to indicate the setting.
