Settings
When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this
parameter to Local Off. Most conventional sequencers have
the Thru function set to On, so as seen in the figure, when
information describing what has been played on the keyboard
(1) arrives at the sound generator via two separate routes (2),
notes could be sounded twice or sometimes get cut off. To
prevent this, the setting called “Local Off” is used to disconnect
the route in (1).
Local On: The keyboard and the internal sound generator are
in a linked state.
Local 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. The
MT transmits a Local Off message when the power is
turned on. If you turn on the power in the order of
the VIMA
→ MT series, Local Off will be set
automatically.
