Roland HP 3800 - Page 29

This occurs because the performance data generated by playing the keyboard reaches
the internal sound source through two different routes, which are:
(1} The circuit connections within the HP-3800/2800 and
(2) Soft Thru on the sequencer. (A condition whereby a copy of the performance data
received at MIDI IN is sent out from MIDI OUT.)
In order to alleviate problems, the first route (1) can be switched out of use. Doing this
is referred to as setting the instrument to Local Off. Conversely, the standard mode,
where route (1) remains active, is known as Local On.
Local On
This is the standard mode, in which the keyboard is connected to its built-in sound
source.

* Should the piano receive Local Control messages over MIDI, the content of such messages
will determine the Local ON/OFF status.
The Roland MT-200 transmits Local Off messages when you first power it up.
Note that if you are using DC OUT to supply power to the MT-200, you should leave the
power switch on the MT-200 af ON, and then turn power on or off using the power switch on
the HP-3800/2800.
* If there is no MIDI cable connected to the piano's MIDI IN connector, the mode will auto-
matically be at "Local On".
