Local Control Off - Roland GR-20 Owner's Manual

Chapter 5 Connecting an External Sound Module or Sequencer

Local Control Off

The state in which the GR-20's guitar control section is
internally connected to the sound generator is referred to as
"Local Control On." In contrast, the Local Control Off setting
internally disconnects the GR-20's sound generator from the
guitar control section, so that the sound generator will produce
sound only in response to MIDI messages from MIDI IN. The
guitar performance will be transmitted only from MIDI OUT.

By selecting the Local Control Off setting and enabling the
"Soft Thru" setting on your externally connected sequencer,
you can avoid conflicts from occurring between the
performance data from your guitar and from the sequencer.
1. Turn off the GR-20, and then hold down the [SYSTEM
EDIT] button while turning the power on again.
The display will indicate "Lo" for approximately one
second, and the GR-20 will then enter Play mode.

* The Local Control Off setting cannot be stored.
* If the connections between the GR-20 and your external MIDI
device form a loop, you must use the Local Control Off setting.
If you make connections with this setting On, switches will
not function, and the system will not operate correctly.
