Selecting Dual Channel mode automatically disables Common channel
mode.
The MIDI channel of the main section is selected from the Midi Channel
page, as already explained. The MIDI Channel of the secondary section
(Layer or Split) is automatically assigned according to formula "N + 1"
where N = the MIDI channel of the main section.
For example, if you have assigned MIDI channel 1 to the main sound, the
Layer or Split will have MIDI channel 2. This channel will be both the send
and receive channel for the second section.
In Dual channel mode, the MIDI messages transmitted and received will
be separate for each section. The Program Change and Control Change
messages will depend on the Sound Program of the selected Preset (refer
to the MIDI Implementation chart in the Appendix).
The last MIDI Mode selected is memorized even after turning the instru-
ment off.
Midi Menu Page 2
Press the CURSOR RIGHT button to pass to the second page of the Midi
Menu which contains three Midi functions: Local Control, Midi Transpose
and Midi Clock.
Local Control
The first function, Local Control, is shown selected (negative highlight),
shown ON by default:
This function, if OFF, isolates the RP220 from its internal sound engine
allowing it to be used as a MIDI controller. When ON, RP220's keyboard
data is directed to the internal sound engine as well as the MIDI OUT port.
Press the DATA – button to set Local Control Off.
Return to the On setting with the DATA + button.
The Local Control Off setting simplifies the connection of the RP220 with
an external sequencer or computer, allowing the keyboard to be used as
a controlling device and the internal sound engine as an expander when
connecting to a sequencer/computer.
A typical example of the use of the Local control is when the RP220 MIDI
IN port is connected to the sequencer/computer MIDI OUT port, and the
RP220 MIDI OUT port to the sequencer/computer MIDI IN port (MIDI Loop
