Setting the MIDI Tx Mode

(to the external MIDI device) selection of MIDI data be output from
the RD-300SX when you make tone changes on the RD-300SX.

Description
This setting is suited for con-
necting to a sound module. The
MIDI information (for exam-
ple: Program change) is not
output from the RD-300SX
when you make a tone change
on the RD-300SX.
This setting is suitable for the
connection of sequencers. The
MIDI information (for example:
Bank select, Program Change,
Settings of Effects, and so on) is
output from the RD-300SX
when you make a tone change
on the RD-300SX.

Switching Local Control On and Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to "Off."
When the instrument is turned on, this is set to "On."
As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the
keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two
different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or
intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must
be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as "Local Off."
