Local On/Off

Local is the parameter that allows you to establish whether the keyboard has to play
the internal sounds and transmit MIDI data at the same time (Local On), or whether
it just has to transmit MIDI data and not play the internal sound (Local Off).
Local Off should be chosen when you wish to use the EC350 as a mute keyboard, to
play another instrument. It should be chosen also when EC350 is connected to a
sequencer via its MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connectors. This will avoid the notes to
be played twice, by the keyboard and by the sequencer, producing an annoying
"echo" effect.
Normally, you will choose Local On (automatically selected when turning the
EC350 on), so that playing the keyboard will produce sound.
Hold down the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button, and press the PIANO 1 sound
selection button. The Local setting will alternate to On/Off each time you press this
button.

Program Change

The sound of the EC350 can be selected via MIDI, by sending a Program Change
message on the channel where you wish to assign the sound. The table lists the Pro-
gram Change numbers (numbering from 0-29; if the transmitting device uses num-
bers from 1-30, you will need to increment the number by one).
