Is it possible?...

Hey guys, is it possible to insert a midi track that has no output and ignores all the previously setup virtual synths?

Unless it's changed in the modern versions, it will have some output set.  If you require a MIDI track with nothing on it to do this, you could install one of hte virtual midi cables out there, and point it to that.  As long as you don't then use the other end of that cable anywhere, it's just a "blank port" capping off the track. 

 

If you don't want any of the track's controls or clips to affect anything, just using it to store things in or do edits in, you could archive it (which at least in old versions didn't lock the contents, just didn't process any of them for output to the rest of the program/etc).

A MIDI track is just that, a MIDI track. You can create one completely independent of any virtual synth. Ctrl-Shift-T or right -click in the left pane of the Track (Arrangement) View and select "Insert MIDI track"

It will point to the default MIDI output but you could create an empty Drum Map and point the MIDI track to that.
