211UTILITY MODE / SYNTH SETUP
Local
Range: off, on
Controls: [CS8], [-1] [+1], Dial,
“Local control” refers to the fact that, normally, the SY85 keyboard con-
trols its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played di-
rectly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control ON” since the inter-
nal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can
be turned OFF, however, so that the keyboard does not play the internal voices,
but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT
connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the inter-
nal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN
connector.
