Using the Local Switch setting
If you’re using an external sequencer with the JUPITER-50’s keyboard
controller section and sound generator section, you should turn the Local
Switch OFF. Here’s why.
We need to connect these sections in the following order: the JUPITER-50’s
keyboard
external sequencer the JUPITER-50’s sound generator.
Since the JUPITER-50’s keyboard section and sound generator section are
connected internally, such a connection order would normally be impossible.
However, if the Local Switch is OFF, the JUPITER-50’s keyboard section and its
sound generator section will be independent, allowing you to use an external
sequencer as shown here in the illustration.

Depending on the model of pedal, the

“STANDARD” setting.

the pedal to control subtle nuances of
the piano sounds you play.
