Microfreak/UG/17 Ext Gear/05 Local Control
17.4 About Local Control
- By default, the keyboard is connected to the sound engine (Local On), so pressing a key plays the MicroFreak. Turn Local Control off when controlling the MicroFreak externally over MIDI: the keyboard sends notes to MIDI out, but they do not reach the sound engine. The MicroFreak may then seem unresponsive.
Note/Info If the MicroFreak seems unresponsive, check whether Local Control was turned off.
- Local Off is useful when an external sequencer controls the MicroFreak. It prevents double triggering when the sequencer sends keyboard notes back to the MicroFreak sound engine, a condition called MIDI echo.
