About the Local Switch

The switch that connects and disconnects the MIDI connection
between the keyboard controller section and the sound
generator section (p. 28) is called the Local switch. Since
essential information describing what is being played on the
keyboard won't reach the sound generator if the Local switch
is set to OFF, the Local switch should normally be left ON.
However, if while performing you want to send that
performance data to an external sequencer as MIDI messages
to be recorded, you then perform with the externally
connected MIDI sequencer set to MIDI Thru (whereby data
received from MIDI IN is then output from the MIDI OUT with
no changes made to the data).

Section
In this case, the data sent over two paths, i.e., the data sent
directly from the keyboard controller section and the data sent
from the keyboard controller section via the external
sequencer, ends up being sent to the sound generator section
simultaneously. Thus, for example, even when you play a "C"
key only once, the note "C" cannot be sounded correctly, as
the sound is played by the sound generator section twice.
