MIDI Functions
When this instrument and a computer are connected via commercially available USB-MIDI interface,
MIDI communication can be performed. The explanations here cover the settin
g
s necessary for per-
formin
g
MIDI communication between both devices.
Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the inter-
nal tone generator is active when Local Control is set to ON, and inactive when Local Control is set to OFF.

Enter the Local Control settin

function.

Local Control
• Normally, this should be set to ON—since you’ll want to hear the sound of the instrument as you play it. However,
for external sequencer applications, you may need to set this to OFF to avoid getting “double” notes, in which the
sounds of the instrument are played twice—once from the pads and pedals, then once again by the pad data and
the pedal data routed through the sequencer.
• When you record your performance to application software on a computer via MIDI, set this parameter to OFF.
Press the [FUNCTION] button once, then press the [DRUM 3] or [BACKING] button a num-
ber of times until the “
LCL
” item appears. After a while, the current ON/OFF status
appears next to the “
LCL
” indication.
Turn the dial clockwise to set to ON, and turn it counter-clockwise to set it to OFF.
• Default setting is ON.
• Regardless of the Local Control setting, the instrument’s performance data is always sent to the MIDI OUT
terminals for transmission to external MIDI devices.
