Global P1: MIDI 1–1: MIDI
651
The MIDI CC# (control change) messages are
transmitted on the MIDI channel specified in the
Global P1– External 1 and External 2 pages.
Local Control On [Off, On]
Local Control On (Checked): The OASYS’s internal
tone generator will be controlled by its own keyboard,
joystick, SW1 and SW2, and connected foot pedal. If
you are playing the OASYS by itself, leave this setting
checked.
Local Control Off (Unchecked): The OASYS’s
keyboard and joystick etc. will be disconnected from
the internal tone generator.
This means that operating the OASYS (playing its
keyboard and using the joystick, or playing back the
sequencer) will not sound its internal tone generator.
Turn Local Control Off if loop-back from an external
sequencer causes duplicate notes.
If Local Control is Off, MIDI transmission/
reception will occur normally. Playing the keyboard
will cause the corresponding note data to be
transmitted, and received note data will play the
OASYS’s internal sounds.
Local Control and the Control Surface
The Control Surface generates and receives MIDI CCs
and System Exclusive messages, so that you can record
knob, switch, and slider movements into a sequencer.
In order to avoid feedback loops and other strange
behavior, the Control Surface relies upon an external
MIDI loop-back when Local Control is turned Off.
In other words:
• If Local Control is On, the physical Control Surface
will work properly as long as MIDI is not being
looped back into the OASYS.
• If Local Control is Off, you must loop back MIDI
into the OASYS in order for the physical Control
Surface to work properly.
• Regardless of the Local Control setting, you can
always edit Control Surface parameters via the
touch-screen.
Knob/Slider Mode: To avoid potential problems when
Local Control is Off, most knobs and sliders behave as
if the Knob/Slider Mode was set to Jump. The
exception is when Control Assign is set to External, in
which case the Knob/Slider Mode setting is observed.
For more information, see “Knob/Slider Mode” on
page 645.
Local Control and the Control Surface: more detail
The information under “Local Control and the Control
Surface,” above, is all that you should need to know in
most cases. The following information details how the
system works internally. You’ll notice the results of
these internal operations only if Local Control is Off
AND there is no MIDI loop-back–which is not a
recommended configuration.
In this case, you’ll see that the Control Surface works in
slightly different ways, depending on the Control
Assign setting.
When Control Assign is set to Timbre/Track or Audio:
• If Local Control is Off, most of the knobs, sliders,
and switches will only affect the internal sounds
when MIDI is looped back into OASYS. The
exception is the Select switches, which always
control the selection.
When Control Assign is set to External:
• The Control Surface will function properly
regardless of the Local Control setting.
When Control Assign is set to Real-Time
Knobs/KARMA:
• If Local Control is Off, the Real-Time Knobs will
only affect the internal sounds when MIDI is
looped back into OASYS.
• The KARMA sliders and switches will function
properly regardless of the Local Control setting.
When Control Assign is set to Tone Adjust:
• If Local Control is Off, the knobs, sliders, and
switches will only affect the internal sounds when
MIDI is looped back into OASYS.

Assignable Pedals: When assignable pedals are routed
to duplicate the function of a knob, they act the same
as the physical knob.
