■ MIDI settings
These settings should be made when transmitting/receiving performance
data to a connected MIDI device or computer.
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 be played by
the internal tone generator.
You can set the Local Control in the Function Settings (page 53).
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 53).
Sends the EZ-200 panel settings to an external MIDI device.
When recording a EZ-200 performance to an external computer, sequencer
or similar equipment, you can use this function to send the current EZ-200
panel settings so that when the sequence is played back the original panel
settings are automatically restored.
You can set Initial Send in the Function settings (page 53).

•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.
CAUTION
• If External Clock is ON
and no clock signal is
being received from an
external device, the Song,
Style, and metronome
functions will not start.
