ment.
zLocal Control settings
When recording the keyboard performance to the connected computer, the MIDI data you play will be trans-
mitted to the computer then returned back to the instrument. This causes a “double” sound, since the tone
generator of the instrument receives the keyboard performance data directly from the keyboard as well as the
computer. To avoid this situation, set Local Control to “Off,” in order to separate the tone generator of the
instrument from the keyboard.

NOTE
• When you use a software synthesizer as a tone generator, be sure to make settings on the computer application so that the MIDI data received
from the instrument will not be returned back to the instrument, in addition to setting Local Control to “Off.”
zExternal Clock
When you record Style/Arpeggio playback, you should set which clock is used, that of the instrument or the
computer. If you use the clock of the computer, make settings on the instrument so that Style/Arpeggio play-
