98 Chapter B Audio and MIDI in Mac OS X
When using the keyboard with a sequencer, however, this is not desirable. In this
scenario, the keyboard is used as the computer’s input device, and the computer will
play the various connected tone generators, be they the keyboard’s own sound
generator or any other connected sound modules. If you wanted to control and record
another sound module with your keyboard, its own sounds would get in the way—
which is why the keyboard must be separated from its own internal sound generator.
This function is known as “Local Off”, and can be set directly on your keyboard. The
sequencer will speak to your keyboard’s tone generator just like any other connected,
keyboardless sound module.
Note: If you cannot find the “Local” function in your keyboard’s MIDI menu, consult its
manual as to how best to proceed for sequencer use. Some keyboards allow you to
select from: “Local”, “MIDI” or “Both” for each of their “Parts”. The “MIDI” setting, if
applicable, is the equivalent of “Local Off”.
Tape Synchronization
Details on synchronizing Logic with digital or analog tape machines, multi-trackers or
video editing systems, and their cabling requirements, can be found in the Logic
reference.
