the RD-300SX when you make tone changes on the RD-300SX.

Switching Local Control On and Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to “Off.” When the instrument is turned on, this is set to “On.”

As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as “Local Off.”
