Connecting external devices
Switching Local Control on and off
When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to
“Off”.
As illustrated, information describing what has been
played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound
generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a
result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To
prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed,
by setting the unit to what is known as “Local Off.”
Local Control 0N: The keyboard and the internal sound
generator are in a linked state.
Local Control 0FF: The keyboard and the internal sound
generator are in an unlinked state. No sound will be pro-
duced by the keyboard when it is played.
NOTE
When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not nec-
essary to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit Local
Off messages when their power is switched on. If you turn on
the power in the order of the ep-760
→
MT series, Local Off will
be set automatically.
If you press the [Variation] button in step B of “Making
MIDI-related settings”, p. 28, a display like the follow-
ing will appear.
Setting range: On, OFF
