Local On/Off—when Connected to a Computer

When connecting this synthesizer to a computer, the keyboard performance data is generally sent to the computer, and then returned

from the computer to play the tone generator block. If the Local Control in the Utility mode is set to “on,” a “double” sound may result,

since the tone generator is receiving performance data from both the keyboard directly and the computer. Use the setting suggestions

below as a guideline; speciﬁc instructions may differ depending on your computer and the software used.

• When MIDI “Echo” (MIDI Thru) is set to “on” the software/computer:

n When transmitting or receiving System Exclusive data (such as with the Bulk Dump function), use the setting example below, making sure that

MIDI “Echo” (MIDI through) on the computer software is set to “off.”

• When MIDI “Echo” (MIDI Thru) is set to “off” the software/computer:

n Although not indicated in the illustration above, the MO actually receives and responds to MIDI data from the computer application (sequencer),

regardless of the Local Control setting on the MO.

* MIDI “Echo” is a function on sequencers that takes any data received via the MIDI IN and “echoes” it (or sends it as is) through the MIDI OUT. In some

software, this function is also called “MIDI Thru.”

n For details about MIDI Echo, refer to the owner’s manual of your particular software.

Quick Setup

The MO is capable of handling many different music applications—such as live performance, connection to a

computer for recording, etc. However, depending on the particular situation, you may have to change the MIDI

synchronize setting or the Local On/Off setting above manually.

To help with this, the MO features a convenient Quick Setup function that lets you instantly change important settings

for four different typical situations. For details about the Quick Setup function, see page 208.
