Using the Local Switch
When you're using the Fantom-Xa with external sequencer
software, leave the Local Switch turned off. Read the following
for details.

Fantom-Xa
Keyboard
(External)
Sequencer
Typically, things are hooked up so the data travels as follows:
the Fantom-Xa's keyboard → your external sequencer software
→ the Fantom-Xa's sound generator. Normally, the Fantom-
Xa's keyboard section is internally connected to its sound
generator section; this internal connection is controlled by the
Local Switch. If you turn the Local Switch off, the Fantom-Xa's
keyboard and sound generator sections will be independent,
allowing you to use the connection described above with your
external sequencer software.
Settings Common to All Modes (System Function)
Explanation
Determines whether the internal sound generator is disconnected (OFF) from the controller sec-
tion (keyboard, Pad, pitch bend/modulation lever, knobs, buttons, D Beam controller, pedal,
and so on); or not disconnected (ON).
Normally this is left "ON," but if you wish to use the Fantom-Xa's keyboard and controllers
to control only external sound modules, set it to "OFF."
When you want to transmit or receive System Exclusive messages, set this parameter to match
the Device ID number of the other MIDI device.
Set this parameter "ON" when you want to use an external MIDI keyboard instead of the Fan-
tom-Xa's keyboard.
In this case, the MIDI transmit channel of the external MIDI keyboard can be set to any chan-
nel. Normally you will leave this parameter "OFF."
* Turn this "ON" when you want to control the Fantom-Xa from an external MIDI device when per-
forming with the Arpeggio or RPS function.
Selects the MIDI receive channel used during switching of performances when MIDI messages
(Program Change/Bank Select) are sent from an external MIDI device.
Set this to "OFF" if performances are not to be switched from an external MIDI device.
* If only a program change is received, and if this parameter setting coincides with the MIDI receive
channel of a part, priority will be given to switching the performance.
