Transmission of Program Changes
The HP 535/335 can be used to remotely change the
sounds that a connected MIDI device uses.
For more about the tones that will be switched to
when program changes are received, please consult
with Roland Service.
Switching Local On-Off
With the keyboard connected to a MIDI sequencer,
keyboard performances can be recorded to the
sequencer; the sequencer can also be used to play back
performances.

With the sequencerÕs ÒThruÓ function on, the same
notes will be sounded twice. This is because the key-
boardÕs performance data arrives at the sound genera-
tor via two different routes, (1) and (2). This can cause
the sound to become strange, and also puts strain on
the instrumentÕs polyphonic capabilities. To prevent
this from happening, route (1) must be separated, by
means of what is called ÒLocal Off.Ó

* ÓLocal OnÓ is the power-on default.
* MIDI sequencers are devices that record and play back
performances as MIDI information. The models in
RolandÕs MT Series feature sequencers and sound genera-
tors in a single unit.
The Local On/Off setting is based on the MIDI local
control information that is received. When one of the
MT Series models is connected, Local Off data is trans-
mitted when the MT is turned on. If first the HP
535/335, and then the MT is turned on, the HP
535/335 automatically selects Local Off.
