● LOCAL CONTROL

The LOCAL CONTROL parameters determine whether or
not the corresponding PSR-8000 parts/voices are controlled via
the PSR-8000 keyboard, sequence data, or accompaniment
playback.
When local control is on, the PSR-8000 keyboard controls
its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be
played directly from the keyboard or internal data. Local con-
trol can be turned off, however, so that the PSR-8000 does not
play the specified voices, but the appropriate MIDI information
is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. At the same
time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information
received via the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an
external sequencer or MIDI computer, for example, plays the
PSR-8000’s voices, an external tone generator can be played
from the PSR-8000.
Use the SONG, ACMP, M.PAD, LEFT, R1, R2, and LEAD
LCD dials to turn local control of the corresponding items ON
or OFF. A check mark appears in the appropriate LOCAL
CONTROL box in the upper part of the display when local
control of the corresponding part/voice is turned on.

● CLOCK & RECEIVE TRANSPOSE

The PSR-8000 “Functions”
CLOCK Determines whether the PSR-8000 is con-
trolled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock
signal received from an external device.
INTERNAL is the normal CLOCK setting when
the PSR-8000 is being used alone. If you are
using the PSR-8000 with an external se-
quencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device,
and you want the PSR-8000 to be synchro-
nized to the external device, set this function to
EXTERNAL. In the latter case, the external
device must be connected to the PSR-8000
MIDI IN connector, and must be transmitting an
appropriate MIDI clock signal.
TRANSMIT Turns MIDI clock transmission ON or OFF.
When OFF, no MIDI clock or START/STOP data
is transmitted. Use the TRANSMIT CLOCK
dials to turn ON or OFF as required.
RECEIVE When the RECEIVE TRANSPOSE parameter
is turned OFF note data received by the PSR-
8000 is not transposed, and when set to ON
the received note data is transposed according
to the current PSR-8000 transpose setting.
