Connecting External Devices

Switching Local Control On and
Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to
“OFF.”
As illustrated, information describing what has been played on
the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over
two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear
overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from
happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to
what is known as “Local Off.”

The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in a linked
state.

Local Control OFF

The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in an
unlinked state. No sound will be produced by the keyboard
when it is played.

When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not
necessary to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit
Local Off messages when their power is switched on. If
you turn on the power in the order of the RP101

MT

series, Local Off will be set automatically.

Local On is set when the power is switched on.
