The Local control on/off setting
The Local setting separates the K61P’s keyboard from the internal sound engine. When
local is on, the keyboard will play the internal sound engine, as well as any other
connected devices. When using the K61P with a sequencer, you would normally set
the local control to off, to prevent messages being sent to the computer from triggering
notes a second time. This setting will depend on the “echo back” setting of the se-
quencer.
Generally, set local on, and the K61P will play sounds from the internal engine when
notes are played on the keyboard.
1 Hold down [BANK] button until the K-Series enters the Setting mode.
2 Press the Program 6 [PIANO 6/CLAVE/ORGAN 6] button (the button will flash).
