CVP-205/203
In this section, you can make MIDI-related settings for the instrument. These settings can be stored all together from the 
USER display, for future recall. 
For general information and details about MIDI, see “What is MIDI?” (page 148). 
The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 125.
Making Overall System Settings (Local Control, Clock, etc.) — System
Call up the display as described in step 2 above.
Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the CVP-205/203 
controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If 
you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the CVP-205/203’s tone 
generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows 
you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the CVP-205/203’s internal voices, and use the CVP-205/203 keyboard 
to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.
