The Utility Functions s Local Control ON/OFF "Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is "Local Control ON" since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned off, however, so that the Clavinova keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the Clavinova's internal voices, an external tone generator can be played from the Clavinova keyboard. Press the LOCAL LCD button to alternately turn local control ON and OFF. • The Local setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is ON. s Clock ...This function determines whether the Clavinova's auto-accompaniment or song record/playback timing is controlled by the Clavinova's own internal clock or an external MIDI clock signal received from external equipment connected to the MIDI IN connector. Press the CLOCK LCD button to alternately select the EXT. (external) or INT. (internal) clock mode. • The Clock setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is INT. • If the Clock Mode is set to EXT. and a MIDI clock signal is not being received from an external source, the rhythm, ABC and other clock-dependent features will not operate. MIDI 2 The "MIDI 2" function page contains the MIDI FILTER settings which can be used to turn transmission and reception of certain types of MIDI data on or off. 95
