Roland Classic Keyboard C-230 - Manual (Page 41)

Additional Convenient Functionality
If you’ve connected the C-230 to a MIDI sequencer, you should set the C-230 to the Local Off state.
Most sequencers enable their Thru function, so that the notes that you play on the keyboard or that are played back by the
recorder will reach the sound generator section by both routes (1) and (2) if the C-230 is in the Local On state, causing notes to be
sounded in duplicate, or to be cut off unnaturally.
To prevent this, choose the “Local Off” setting so that route (1) is disconnected.
◆
While holding down the [Function] button, press the
Harpsichord [4’] button to switch off the Local
function.
Repeat this operation to select Local On again.
* If you’ve selected Local Off and no sequencer is connected, you
won’t hear any sound when you play the C-230’s keyboard.
The Local On setting is selected when you turn on the
power.
