Just as a followup, I downloaded the manuals for the above synths, and
both the A6 and Q allow the keyboard to send to different midi
channels from different keyboard zones (quite similar to the way the
Ion works).  The Virus TI manual is not very clear, but it _appears_
that it is much less sophisticated than the others, and treats the
keyboard basically as a global device (I guess similar to the way you
say the PEK works).

It's perhaps telling that the Ion, Q, and A6 started with keyboard
models, whereas the virus and poly-evolver started as modules and only
later added a keyboard...
