Transferring Performance Data to and from a Computer
Item Range/Settings Description
Local ON/OFF Local control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by
its internal tone generator system: the internal tone generator is active when local control
is on, and inactive when local control is off.
External Clock ON/OFF This setting determines whether the instrument is synchronized to its own internal clock
(OFF), or to a clock signal from an external device (ON).
Keyboard Out ON/OFF This setting determines whether keyboard performance is transmitted via the MIDI output
(ON) or not (OFF). When Keyboard Out is set to ON, the main voice will be transmitted
via MIDI channel 1, the dual voice will be transmitted via MIDI channel 2, and the split
voice will be transmitted via MIDI channel 3.
Pattern Out ON/OFF This setting determines whether keyboard performance data is transmitted via the MIDI
output (ON) or not (OFF).
Song Out ON/OFF This setting determines whether keyboard song data is transmitted via the MIDI output
(ON) or not (OFF). SMF playback will not be transmitted via MIDI.
