Local On/Off - When Connected to a Computer (UTILITY PAGE 12) When connecting the S08 to a computer, the keyboard performance data is generally sent to the computer, and then returned from the computer to play the tone generator or sound source. If the Local Switch is set to "on," a "double" sound may result, since the tone generator is receiving performance data from both the keyboard directly and the computer. Use the setting suggestions below as a guideline; specific instructions may differ depending on your computer and the software used. When MIDI "Echo" is enabled on the software/ computer, set the S08 Local Switch to "off." USB IN OUT Computer with Application Software When MIDI "Echo" is disabled on the software/ computer, set the S08 Local Switch to "on." USB OUT Computer with Application Software Tone Generator Local Off Keyboard S08 Local Sw=on IN Echo Back On n Although not indicated in the illustration above, the S08 actually receives and responds to MIDI data from the computer application (sequencer), regardless of the Local Sw setting on the S08. * MIDI "Echo" is a function on sequencers that takes any data received via the MIDI IN and "echoes" it (or sends it as is) through the MIDI OUT. In some software, this function is also called "MIDI Thru." n Refer to the owner's manual of your particular software for specific instructions. Connecting Controllers The S08 has controller jacks on the rear panel, including FOOT SWITCH and FOOT CONTROLLER. You can connect optional controllers such as a footswitch (the FC4 or FC5) and foot controller (the FC7) to control tone, volume, pitch and other parameters. n Details about how to use these controllers are given on page 37.
