OMNI
ON
allows
you
to
contro!
the
D—50
regardless
of
the
MIDI
channel of the external MIDI device.
@ Local
Local
OFF
separates
the
keyboard
section
from
the
synthesizer
section
in
the
D—50.
Therefore,
Performance
information
is
sent
from
the
MIDI
OUT,
but
the
D—SO
does
not
make
any
sound.
The
Performance
information
fed
into
the
MIDI
IN,
however,
can
control the D—50’s synthesizer section.
