Note: Although selecting a new Category changes the display of the Instrument control, it is necessary to select a
sound from the Instrument control to load it. This is useful when using the GM Module software in live performance
situations where it may be undesirable for the first sound in a category to immediately load. In such situations, it is
usually preferred to have the previous sound loaded until you select the particular sound from within a category.

49i Local mode off. This silences the KeyStudio 49i built-in piano sound, and only allows sounds from GM Module to
be heard. See the Local Key portion of the Advanced MIDI Features in Edit Mode section of this User Guide for more
information on how to turn Local mode off.
