Local On/Off - Yamaha DD-55 Owner's Manual

MIDI Functions
The Local ON/OFF setting determines whether or not the internal voices respond to the notes you
play on the DD-55's pads. Setting this to OFF disconnects the DD-55's pads from the voices. How-
ever, data produced by the DD-55 is transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.

pads. Data received via MIDI will also be played by the DD-55.
the data will be transmitted through the MIDI OUT. However, data
received via MIDI will be played by the DD-55.
• Normally, this should be set to "on" — since you'll want to hear the sound of the
DD-55 as you play it. However, for external sequencer applications, you may
need to set this to "oFF" to avoid getting "double" notes, in which the sounds of
the DD-55 are played twice — once from the pads and once again by the pad
data routed through the sequencer.
