Various Settings

Here you can make various MIDI-related settings for the DP-

990.

For more about MIDI, refer to “Connecting to MIDI Devices”

(p. 84).

When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this

parameter to Local Off.

Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be

turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by

the recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the

two routes (1) and (2) shown in the illustration, causing notes

to be sounded in duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To

prevent this, the setting called “Local Off” is used to disconnect

the route in (1).
