MIDI LOCAL SETTINGS
The SD600 module is a USB MIDI compatible device. There are no
special drivers required to use the module with your computer.
MIDI Local Control allows the module to only produce sounds
coming from the USB MIDI In. The pads will only send MIDI note
commands, which can be useful when connected to a Computer
DAW. In this case set the Local to Off. The default setting is set to
ON.
