Hi shapednoise,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience,
Indeed at the moment the Microfreak is not sending any midi data when turning it to local off,
I will log this as a feature request to be considered upon future updates,
Please let me know if you have the slightest remaining question or issue,
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Yours Musically,
Léo - Arturia Support
