Midi Local - GEM RP60 Owner's Manual

Midi Local

If you are using your RP60/70 via MIDI as a controlling device connected to an
external sound generator (expander, keyboard, etc.), when you play, you will
hear the expander's sounds together with the RP60/70 Sounds. If you prefer
to listen to the expander's sounds alone, you can choose to exclude the RP
sounds by setting the MIDI Local function to OFF.
Setting this function to OFF disconnects the keyboard from the internal
generator and transmits keyboard data via the RP60/70 MIDI OUT only.
The Midi Local function does not play a reference note during the setting
operation.
1. Press and hold the MIDI Local function key (B7) and press the DATA
button once.

keyboard from the internal sound engine. This setting will allow you to
play your external expander's sounds via MIDI without hearing the
RP60/70 sounds.
2. To return to MIDI LOCAL ON, press and hold the MIDI Local function key,
(B7) and press the DATA
Play the same note, or a note anywhere on the keyboard. This time the
keyboard will play. Via MIDI, with MIDI LOCAL ON, you will be able to
play the RP60/70 sounds together with the external expander's sounds.
