7. Local Control ON/ OFF
Selection
“Local Control” refers to the fact that,
normally, the PSR-48 keyboard
controls its internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be
played directly from the keyboard.
This situation is “Local Control ON”
since the internal tone generator is
controlled locally
by
its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF,
however, so that the PSR-48
keyboard does not play the internal
voices, but the appropriate MIDI
information is still transmitted via the
MIDI OUT connector when notes are
played on the keyboard. At the same
time, the internal tone generator
responds to MIDI information received
via the MIDI IN connector. This means
that while an external MIDI sequence
recorder, for example, plays the PSR-
48's internal voices, an external tone
generator can be played from the
PSR-48 keyboard. Local Control is
automatically turned ON when the
power is initially turned ON.
* This function has no effect when the
PSR-48 is being used for reception
