Except
for
the
fact
that
these
parameters
apply
to
the
transmission
of
MIDI
messages
(i.e.
messages
sent
whenever
you
play
on
the
G-800,
select
Tones,
etc.),
these
parameters
are
iden-
tical to the RX parameters. See page 84.
Note:
Unless
you
have
a
very
good
reason
to
do
otherwise,
we
su
ggest
you
always
select
the
same
TX
(transmit)
and
receive
(RX)
channel
numbers
for
a
part.
That
will
help
you
spot
the
problem
whenever
the
part
in
question
does
not
receive
MIDI
messages
or
whenever
it
sends
MIDI
data
on
the
“wrong”
channel.
Note:
On
the
RTime
RX
page,
you
will
also
find
the
three
RX
Parts.
See
the
Player's
Guide
for
details.
m Local (On, Off)
Set
Local
to
On
(default
setting),
whenever
you
want
the
G-800
respond
to
the
notes
you
play
on
the
keyboard.
Setting
Local
to
Off,
on
the
other
hand,
means
that
the
part
in
question
no
longer
controls
the
internal
tone
generator.
When
working
with
a
sequencer
equipped
with
a
Soft
Thru
(MIDI
echo)
function
—
and
only
if
(i)
you
connect
the
G-800’s
MIDI
IN
and
OUT
connectors
to
the
external
sequencer
or
computer,
and
(ii)
use
the
G-800
as
MIDI
master
key-
board
for
sequencing)
—
you
may
have
to
set
this
parameter
to
Off
to
avoid
that
each
note
is
sounded
twice
(producing
an
unpleasant
sound
called
MIDI
loop).
In
all
other
cases,
select
On.
Note:
A
setting
tantamount
to
Local
Off
can
be
achieved
by
muting
a
part

page
14)
and

As
explained
in
the
Player's
Guide,
there
is
only
one
NTA
page
because
the
NTA
notes
are
only
meaningful
to
the
G-800
when
received
from
an
external
MIDI
instrument.
Whatever
you
play
in
the
chord
recognition
area
of
the
keyboard
to
feed
the
Arranger
is
automatically
converted
to
the
corresponding
MIDI
note
numbers.
Contrary
to
similar
instruments
of
other
manufacturers,
your
G-800
is
blessed
with
the
capability
of
sending
the
note
numbers
of
all
Arranger
parts,
so
that
you
could
use
the
internal
or
your
own
Styles
to
quickly
record
a
Song
using
an
external
sequencer.
Consequently,
there
is
no
need
to
transmit
the
note
messages
used
to
feed
the
Arranger
(the
NTA
notes).
