3-1. Local Control
The Local Control parameter determines whether or not the
drum module’s internal tone generator will produce sounds
in response to playing of the pads or of songs. Normally,
this parameter is set to “On”, meaning that pads and songs
will generate sounds. When “Off” is selected, the tone gen-
erator is essentially disconnected from the pads and songs,
which will be unable to generate any sound. An “Off” set-
ting can prove highly useful when you wish to record your
drum performances as MIDI data on a sequencer or using
DAW software.

parameter.
