Local Control On/Off
Local Control is used to disconnect the keypad and controllers (knobs,
touchstrip, footswitches) from the sound generating section. Even though
disconnected from the internal synthesizer, the keypad and controllers are
still transmitted over MIDI. Local Control is normally turned Off when
recording into an external MIDI sequencer (set sequencer to Echo Thru).
Played data and recorded data are merged in the computer sequencer and
then sent back to the module. This feature can also be used if you want to
control another MIDI sound generator from the rubber keypads without
playing internal sounds.
Turning Local Control Off allows you to use the Echo Thru feature on your sequencer
while sequencing. In conjunction with Echo Thru, Local Control Off allows you to record
into the external sequencer and hear the correct sounds whether you are recording or
playing back the sequence.
Footswitch Jack
Function
The two footswitch jacks on the rear panel can be programmed to perform
a variety of functions. The footswitch jacks are designed to accept
momentary footswitches which connect the tip and ring. The unit senses
either normally-on or normally-off switches on power-up.
Each footswitch can be independently programmed. The following
functions can be controlled via the footswitches.
