THE LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF
Local control refers to the fact that, normally, the piano keyboard controls its internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard.
This situation is called
Local Control ON
. When the local control is set to off, the keyboard and sound
source are separated and no sound is heard through the piano when playing the keyboard.
However, the data of the keyboard performance is output through MIDI. By setting local control to
off, you can play an external MIDI tone generator from the keyboard of the piano without sounding
the internal voices.
To enter the MIDI local control off mode, hold down the
SETUP
button and press
C8 right end key
of the keyboard.
To release it, press again
C8 key
with the
SETUP
button.

What's MIDI?
MIDI(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical
instrument data.
This means that any equipment that has a MIDI terminal (such as electronic musical instruments or personal computers ) can easily
exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without complicated conversions or connections.
ⓓ
Connecting a computer
(USB Terminal)
By connecting a computer to the USB, you can transfer data between the instrument and the
computer via MIDI, and take advantage of sophisticated computer music programs. Keep in mind
that you also need to install an appropriate USB MIDI driver.
The instructions below explain how to connect and use the terminals.

CAUTION
-
Precautions when using the USB terminal.
When connecting the computer to the USB terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing
the computer and corrupting or losing data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the instrument off
and restart the computer.
Before connecting the computer to the USB terminal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspended,
sleep, standby), quit any open application software, and turns off the power to the instrument.
Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument off or unplugging the USB cable to/from the
instrument/computer.
- Quit any open application software on the computer.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on the
keyboard or playing back a song.)
- While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations:
When turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.
