Roland G-800 Reference Manual page 93

MIDI mode, MIDI on your G-800
When you set Soft Thru to On, The G-800 sends a Local message (CC122) with a value "0"
to the digital piano, so that the piano's sound source no longer responds to the notes you play
on its keyboard. Seeing that the G-800 echoes back all notes that are not used to trigger the
Arranger, you hear what you play on the piano — except in the zone set apart for the Arranger.
When you set Soft Thru back to Off, the G-800 sends a Local message with a value "127",
thereby switching the piano's Local function back on.

you cannot start Arranger or Song playback on your G-800 when this mode is
selected.
A a BA
The Arranger or Recorder waits for a start message to start playback at its own
tempo. As soon as it receives a stop message, playback will stop.

Use these switches to select the MIDI INput(s) or OUTput(s) for receiving or transmitting
