Roland FP-9 - Switching Local Control on and off

Switching Local Control On and Off
The switch that toggles Local Control on or off determines whether or not the FP-9’s keyboard section is connected with the
internal sound generating section.
You can connect the FP-9 and a sequencer, record a keyboard performance on the sequencer, then play back the performance with
the sequencer.
Sound Generator

If the sequencer’s THRU function is on at this time, the same notes are sounded twice. Performance information from the
keyboard reaches the sound generator by two routes, (1) and (2), so the played notes may sound strange, or the number of notes
sounded at the same time may decrease. To prevent this, what's known as “Local Control” is set to “off” to isolate route (1).
