Chapter 5 Connecting an External Sound Module or Sequencer
 
Local Control Off
 
The state in which the GR-20’s guitar control section is 
internally connected to the sound generator is referred to as 
“Local Control On.” In contrast, the Local Control Off setting 
internally disconnects the GR-20’s sound generator from the 
guitar control section, so that the sound generator will produce 
sound only in response to MIDI messages from MIDI IN. The 
guitar performance will be transmitted only from MIDI OUT.

By selecting the Local Control Off setting and enabling the 
“Soft Thru” setting on your externally connected sequencer, 
you can avoid conflicts from occurring between the 
performance data from your guitar and from the sequencer.

second, and the GR-20 will then enter Play mode.

* The Local Control Off setting cannot be stored.
* If the connections between the GR-20 and your external MIDI 
device form a loop, you must use the Local Control Off setting. 
If you make connections with this setting On, switches will 
not function, and the system will not operate correctly.
* To turn Local Control on, turn the power of the GR-20 off, 
then on again.
