Preventing Doubled Notes When Connected to a Sequencer (Local Control)

When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this parameter to Local Off.

Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by the recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the two routes (1) and

(2) shown in the illustration, causing notes

to be sounded in duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To prevent this, the setting called “Local Off” is used to disconnect the route in

(1).
