Roland RD-300SX Setting the Midi Tx Mode, Switching Local Control On and Off, Indication

Settings for Each Function ([EDIT])

Setting the MIDI Tx Mode

By setting the MIDI Tx Mode, you can select to have a more suitable

(to the external MIDI device) selection of MIDI data be output from

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

“Mode 1” is the power-up default setting.

Indication	Value	Description
	Mode1	This setting is suited for con-
		necting to a sound module. The
		MIDI information (for exam-
		ple: Program change) is not
		output from the RD-300SX
		when you make a tone change
		on the RD-300SX.
	Mode2	This setting is suitable for the
		connection of sequencers. The
		MIDI information (for example:
		Bank select, Program Change,
		Settings of Effects, and so on) is
		output from the RD-300SX
		when you make a tone change
		on the RD-300SX.

The MIDI Tx button is disabled in Mode 2.

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.”
