Local Control

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the PSR-550 keyboard controls the

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 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI informa-

tion is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the

keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator can respond to MIDI informa-

tion received on channels set to the “XG/GM” mode via the MIDI IN connector. This

means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the PSR-550 internal

voices, an external tone generator can be played from the PSR-550 keyboard.

TEMPO setting has no effect). The default setting is “Int”.
