Disconnecting The Keyboard From The Internal Sound Generator (Local Off) - Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual

Disconnecting the Keyboard from
the Internal Sound Generator
(Local OFF)
The XV-88 contains a keyboard controller section and sound
generating section, packaged as a single unit. This means that
you can make a setting (Local Switch on/off) that specifies
whether or not the performance data from the XV-88's
keyboard will be transmitted directly to the sound generator.
When you use the XV-88 by itself, you will normally set the
Local Switch to ON. However, when you use it with a
computer, you should set the Local Switch to OFF so that the
performance data of the keyboard controller section will be
disconnected from the internal sound generator section.
In this case, the data sent over two paths, i.e., the data sent
directly from the keyboard controller section and the data
sent from the keyboard controller section via the computer,
ends up being sent to the sound generator section
simultaneously. Thus, for example, even when you play a
"C" key only once, the note "C" cannot be sounded correctly,
as the sound is played by the sound generator section twice.

Turn on the MIDI Thru Function of Your
Sequencer Software
In order for the musical data received by the computer from
the XV-88 to be transmitted back to the XV-88, the MIDI Thru
function of the sequencing program must be turned on.
When the MIDI Thru function of the sequencing program is
turned on, MIDI messages received at MIDI IN will be re-
transmitted without change from MIDI OUT.

For details on whether or not your sequencing program
has a MIDI Thru function, and how to set the MIDI Thru
function, refer to the owner's manual for your
sequencing program.
• If your sequencing program does not have a MIDI Thru
function, set the XV-88's Local Switch to ON.
• For some sequencing programs, System Exclusive
messages are not transmitted by the Thru function. If
you are using such software and wish to record System
Exclusive messages, turn the XV-88's Local Control
setting ON.
