Connecting to MIDI Devices
When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this
parameter to Local Off.
Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be
turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by
the recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the
two routes (1) and (2) shown in the illustration, causing notes
to be sounded in duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To
prevent this, the setting called “Local Off” is used to disconnect
the route in (1).
Local On: The keyboard and recorder are connected to the
internal sound generator.
Local Off:
The keyboard and recorder are not connected to
the internal sound generator. No sound will be
produced by the keyboard when it is played.
When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it
is not necessary to make the Local Off setting. The
MT transmits a Local Off message when the power is
turned on. If you turn on the power in the order of the
FP-7
→
MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.
