@ Setting the Local Switch
When the Local Switch is ON, the RD-500’s keyboard is connected to the sound module section.
When it is OFF, the keyboard is disconnected from the sound module. That is, when it is OFF,
playing the keyboard does not produce any sound. (Performance information is sent to the MIDI
OUT, however.)

When Soft Thru is set on an external sequencer and the Local Switch of the RD-500 is turned ON,
playing the keyboard of the RD-500 will cause its sound module to play twice. If it happens, turn the
Local Switch to OFF.
