Midi Local
If you are using your pRP7 via MIDI as a controlling device connected
to an external sound generator (expander, keyboard, etc.), when you
play, you will hear the expander’s sounds together with the pRP7
Sounds. If you prefer to listen to the expander’s sounds alone, you can
choose to exclude the pRP7 sounds by setting the MIDI Local function
to OFF.
Setting this function to OFF disconnects the keyboard from the internal
generator and transmits keyboard data via the pRP7 MIDI OUT only.
The Midi Local function does not play a reference note during the setting
operation.
1. Press and hold the MIDI Local function key (B7) and press the TEMPO/
DATA – button once.
The display will show the Local Off setting for a short period.
Play a note anywhere along the keyboard. You will not hear any
sound, because the MIDI LOCAL OFF setting disconnects the
keyboard from the internal sound engine. This setting will allow
you to play your external expander’s sounds via MIDI without
hearing the pRP7 sounds.
2. To return to MIDI LOCAL ON, press and hold the MIDI Local function key,
(B7) and press the TEMPO/DATA + button.
The display will show the Local On setting for a short period.
Play any note and you will hear that the connection with the
internal generator will be restored.
