What do you mean in the above sentence when you say "it"?

If you mean "all that non-knob midi data going to external gear," 
the answer is yes. However, I am not sure this is what "it" really 
means.

If I am right, I hope the following helps:

If all that data is not routed to port A or port B, your built-in 
controllers only affect the internal synth engine, but if your 
sequencer is setup to go out port A or port B, it will still go out 
to external gear.

You have the options to (1) transmit/not transmit keyboard and other 
non-knob on-board controller data and (2) transmit/not transmit knob 
controller data.

There's another function--locaL ON/OFF.  Well, think of KEYBOARD 
OUTPUTS MIDI as LOCAL ONLY (if you have KEYBOARDS [and the other 
local non-knob controllers] OUTPUTS MIDI = don't transmit.

Same thing with KNOBS MIDI OUT.  Think of it as LOCAL ONLY for the 
knobs.

BOTTOM LINE:  I think of it as: I got my tunes going to internal and 
external gear and I want to play along, but I don't want the built-
in stuff (other than the sequencer) going to the external gear 
connected to midi ports a and b.

Hope this helps.
