Chapter 6. Getting the Full Potential of the XP-30
Chapter 6
Disconnecting the Keyboard
from the Internal Sound Source
(Local OFF)
The XP-30 contains a controller section (keyboard section)
and sound generating section, packaged as a single unit. This
means that you can make a setting (Local Control) that
specifies whether or not the performance data from the
keyboard will be transmitted directly to the sound source.
When you use the XP-30 by itself, you will normally set it to
Local ON. However, when you are using it as a sound
generator for a DTM (desktop music) system, you should set
the Local parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/PERFORM MIDI) to
OFF so that the keyboard will be disconnected from the
internal sound generator.

Turn on the Thru Function of Your
Sequencer Software
In order for the musical data received by the computer from
the XP-30 to be transmitted back to the XP-30, the Thru
function of the sequencing program must be turned on.
When the Thru function of the sequencing program is turned
on, MIDI messages received at MIDI IN will be re-
transmitted without change from MIDI OUT.
For details on whether or not your sequencing program has a
Thru function, and how to set the Thru function, refer to the
owners manual for your sequencing program.
* If your sequencing program does not have a Thru function, set
the XP-30’s Local Control to ON.
* For some sequencing programs, System Exclusive messages are
not transmitted by the Thru function. If you are using such
software and wish to record System Exclusive messages, turn
the XP-30’s Local Control setting ON.
While at this setting,
the XP-30s keyboard
and controllers are
disconnected from
the sound generating
section, so they will not
directly control it.
All performance data
that arrives at MIDI IN
will be output from
MIDI OUT.
