Local On/Off when a computer is connected If the P-250 is connected to a computer, keyboard performance data is generally sent to the computer, then returned from the computer to trigger the P-250 internal tone generator. If the Local Switch is set to "on," the P-250 will play the song in unison, since the internal tone generator is receiving performance data from both the keyboard and the computer. Use the following setting as a guideline; specific instructions may differ depending on your computer and the software used.
