About MIDI
■MIDI settings
These settings should be made when transmitting/receiving performance data to a connected MIDI device or computer.
Local Settings
Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone genera- tor is active when local control is on, and inactive when local control is off.
On ........ This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instru-
ment’s keyboard are sounded by the internal tone generator system. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.
Off ....... With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound
(keyboard performance, or Style playback), but the perfor- mance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.
You can set the Local Control in the Function Settings (page 49).
NOTE
•If you can’t get any sound out of the instrument, Local Control may be the most likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in no sound when Local is set to OFF.
External Clock Settings
These settings determine whether the instrument is synchronized to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock signal from an external device (ON).
On......... The instrument’s time based functions will be synchronized
to the clock from an external device connected to the MIDI terminal.
Off ........ The instrument uses its own internal clock (default).
You can set the External Clock in the Function Settings (page 49).
