■MIDI settingsThese settings should be made when transmitting/receiving performance data to a connected MIDI device or computer.
Local Settings
Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone generator 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, Harmony, or Style playback), but the performance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.
You can set the Local Control in the Function Settings (page 59).
NOTE
•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.
