Making Overall System Settings (Local Control, Clock, etc.) — System
Call up the display as described in step 2 above.
For editing the Clock, Transmit Clock,
Receive Transpose, and Start/Stop
parameters.
Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to "ON," the keyboard of the PSR-A1000
controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If
you set Local to "OFF," the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the PSR-A1000's tone generator
section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to
use an external MIDI sequencer to play the PSR-A1000's internal voices, and use the PSR-A1000 keyboard to record
notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.
