Roland FP-1 User Manual

Local On/Off
Press [LOCAL] (ISYN STRINGS)]) to turn the
Local function On and Off. (When the indica-
tor is lit, the Local setting is On.)
Local On
This is the normal (default) condition in which the FP-
1's keyboard is connected to it’s internal sound gener-
ator.
You can hear the sound.
Local Off
When set this way, the keyboard and the internal
sound generator are not connected. Therefore, the FP-
1 will not generate any sound when its keyboard is
played. The Local Off setting can be used when you
wish to play only an external MIDI sound module
connected to the FP-1, or when you want to hear only
what is played by a sequencer connected to the FP-1.
You can hear no sound.

By connecting the FP-1 to a sequencer as shown
below, you can record and play back your keyboard
performances.
Sequencer
If, however, the THRU function on the sequencer is
set to ON (signals received through MIDI IN are sent
through MIDI OUT without any modification), you
need to set the FP-1 to Local Off. If set to Local On, the
notes you play will be mirrored by those being
returned from the sequencer, which can cause notes to
not sound like they should, or not be played.
Each note played is
sounded twice.
