This determines whether or not the internal tone generator
responds to the notes you play on the MU5’s keyboard. Setting
this to Off effectively disconnects the MU5 keyboard from the
internal tone generator. However, notes played on the keyboard
are still transmitted via the TO HOST or MIDI OUT terminals.

One useful application of Local Control is when
you’ve connected the MU5 to another tone genera-
tor and want to play only that tone generator and
leave the MU5 Voices silent.
■
A more common application would be when using
the MU5 keyboard to input notes to a sequencer. If
the sequencer is also set up to play back data using
the Voices of the MU5, when you play the MU5, it
will be sounding its own voices twice — once from
the keyboard, and after a very brief delay, again
from the MIDI data coming from the sequencer.
This not only decreases the available polyphony of
the MU5 by half, but also creates an undesirable
flanging sound. To remedy the problem, set Local
Control to Off.
