Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices
 
 
MIDI Send Channel Settings
 
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. 
Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication 
to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the 
same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, 
and no sounds can be selected.
 
*
The MP-60 receives all channels 1–16.
*
only the channel you specify here will be transmitted.

Switching Local Control on and 
Off
 
When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to 
“Off.”
As illustrated, information describing what has been played 
on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator 
over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear 
overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from 
happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to 
what is known as “Local Off.”

Local Control ON: The keyboard and the internal sound 
generator are in a linked state.

Local Control OFF: The keyboard and the internal sound 
generator are in an unlinked state. No sound will be 
produced by the keyboard when it is played.

When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not necessary 
to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit Local Off messages 
when their power is switched on. If you turn on the power in the order 
of the MP-60 
 
 
 MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.

Transmitting a Performance 
You Recorded
 
If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the MP-60 
to an external MIDI device or computer, turn this setting

If you wish to use your MIDI sequence to save the
