MIDI Functions When this instrument and a computer are connected via commercially available USB-MIDI interface, MIDI communication can be performed. The explanations here cover the settings necessary for performing MIDI communication between both devices. NOTE • For instructions on how to connect this instrument to the computer, refer to the "Computer-related Operations" downloadable from the Yamaha Manual Library. Local Control Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone generator is active when Local Control is set to ON, and inactive when Local Control is set to OFF. NOTE • Normally, this should be set to ON-since you'll want to hear the sound of the instrument as you play it. However, for external sequencer applications, you may need to set this to OFF to avoid getting "double" notes, in which the sounds of the instrument are played twice-once from the pads and pedals, then once again by the pad data and the pedal data routed through the sequencer. • When you record your performance to application software on a computer via MIDI, set this parameter to OFF. LCL 1 Enter the Local Control setting function. Press the [FUNCTION] button once, then press the [DRUM 3] or [BACKING] button a number of times until the "LCL" item appears. After a while, the current ON/OFF status appears next to the "LCL" indication. oFF on 2 Turn Local Control ON/OFF. Turn the dial clockwise to set to ON, and turn it counter-clockwise to set it to OFF. NOTE • Default setting is ON. 3 Press the [FUNCTION] button to exit from the Function mode. NOTE • Regardless of the Local Control setting, the instrument's performance data is always sent to the MIDI OUT terminals for transmission to external MIDI devices. 2 DD-75 MIDI Reference
