Preventing Doubled Notes When
Connected to a Sequencer (Local Control)
When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this
parameter to Local Off.
Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be
turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by
the recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the
two routes (1) and (2) shown in the illustration, causing notes
to be sounded in duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To
prevent this, the setting called "Local Off" is used to disconnect
the route in (1).
