Yamaha MU15 Manual Do Utilizador

65

Range: off, on
Default: on
This determines whether or not the internal tone generator responds
to the notes you play on the MU15’s keyboard.  Normally, this should
be on.  Setting this to “off” effectively disconnects the panel
keyboard from the internal tone generator.  Even when this is set to
“off,” notes played on the keyboard are still transmitted via the TO
HOST or MIDI OUT terminals.

A common application of Local Control is when using the MU15 to
input notes into a sequencer.  If the sequencer is also set up to play
back data using the Voices of the MU15, when you play the MU15, it
will be sounding its own Voices twice — once from the keyboard, and
after a very brief delay, again from the MIDI data coming from the
sequencer.  This not only decreases the available polyphony of the
MU15 by half, it also creates an undesirable flanging sound.  To remedy
this, set Local Control to “off.”

Another useful application of the “off” setting of this parameter is
when you’ve connected the MU15 to another tone generator and want
to play only that tone generator and leave the MU15 Voices silent.

This function allows you to save the current parameter settings of
the MU15 to a MIDI sequencer, computer or a MIDI data recorder
(such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer).
