Using the LP-350 as a multi-timbral sound module
By using an external MIDI device to control the LP-350’s internal sound generator,
you can use the LP-350 as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the LP-350’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI
OUT connector of your sequencer or other MIDI device.
2. Transmit MIDI data from the connected sequencer or MIDI device.
For details on how to transmit data from the connected sequencer, refer to its
owner’s manual.
If the LP-350 receives program change messages along with the performance data, it
will play the notes using the internal sound that corresponds to that program num-
ber. However, the project change setting must be enabled for this to happen.
Local on/off
With the Local On setting, playing the LP-350’s keyboard will make the internal
sound generator produce sound and will also transmit MIDI data. With the Local
Off setting, playing the LP-350’s keyboard will not make the internal sound genera-
tor produce sound; only MIDI data will be transmitted. Normally you’ll leave this
setting at Local On.
You can use the Local Off setting if you’re using the LP-350 as a master keyboard,
for example to play sounds on MIDI equipment (a keyboard or sound module etc.)
that’s connected to the LP-350. The LP-350 will not produce sound, but your perfor-
mance will be sounded by the connected MIDI device.
You can also use the Local Off setting if you’re using the LP-350 as a sound module
(for example when the LP-350 is connected to a computer), so that the LP-350 will
not sound each note in duplicate; once when you play its keyboard and a second
time in response to the data echoed-back (retransmitted) from the computer.
To switch between the Local On/Off settings, hold down the TRANSPOSE/FUNC-
TION button and press the [PIANO 1/L] sound select button. Each time you press
it, the Local setting will alternate between On and Off.
When you turn off the power, this setting will revert to Local On.
Program change
You can transmit MIDI program change messages from the LP-350 to switch pro-
grams on a connected MIDI device. The LP-350 will also switch programs when it
receives MIDI program change messages from a connected MIDI device. For the
correspondence between program change numbers and sounds, refer to “program
change” below.)
