^this would be how I'd go about doing what you're trying to do.
But what you've said about the parts and keyboard modes could also deliver. Even though I think it's just introducing unnecessary confusion.
For each part on a multi program you can turn 'KeybtoMidi' either on or off. This does work with the key ranges to! So it enables you to send notes to an external instrument (like M3) without it triggering any sound on the Virus for a select number of keys of course.
To my mind this only makes sense for those planning on using just the Virus to control itself plus some other external units, all from the Virus. Like if you wanted to trigger some hardware sampler on an octave, while playing some riff on other keys or something like that...
But the Virus does have the flexibility to enable a part to send midi out within a certain key range, and of course other instruments are able to pick this up and act accordingly.
