Local On/Off — When Connected to a
Computer (UTILITY PAGE 12)
When connecting the S08 to a computer, the
keyboard performance data is generally sent to the
computer, and then returned from the computer to
play the tone generator or sound source. If the Local
Switch is set to "on," a "double" sound may result,
since the tone generator is receiving performance
data from both the keyboard directly and the
computer. Use the setting suggestions below as a
guideline; specific instructions may differ depending
on your computer and the software used.
When MIDI "Echo" is enabled on the software/
computer, set the S08 Local Switch to "off."

n Although not indicated in the illustration above,
the S08 actually receives and responds to MIDI
data from the computer application (sequencer),
regardless of the Local Sw setting on the S08.
* MIDI "Echo" is a function on sequencers that
takes any data received via the MIDI IN and
"echoes" it (or sends it as is) through the MIDI OUT.
In some software, this function is also called "MIDI
Thru."
n Refer to the owner's manual of your particular
software for specific instructions.

Connecting Controllers

The S08 has controller jacks on the rear panel,
including FOOT SWITCH and FOOT CONTROLLER.
You can connect optional controllers such as a
footswitch (the FC4 or FC5) and foot controller (the
FC7) to control tone, volume, pitch and other
parameters.
n Details about how to use these controllers are given on
page 37.
