Roland G-800 - MIDI Sync RX;TX

MIDI mode, MIDI on your G-800
When you set Soft Thru to On, The G-800 sends a Local message (CC122) with a value “0”
to the digital piano, so that the piano’s sound source no longer responds to the notes you play
on its keyboard. Seeing that the G-800 echoes back all notes that are not used to trigger the
Arranger, you hear what you play on the piano — except in the zone set apart for the Arranger.
When you set Soft Thru back to Off, the G-800 sends a Local message with a value “127”,
thereby switching the piano’s Local function back on.
