The Local Control setting is used when recording your
pad performance into a sequencer.
When recording on an external sequencer, set your
external sequencer to the "MIDI thru" state (so that data
received at MIDI IN will be re-transmitted from MIDI OUT
without change), and turn the TD-30's Local Control
