| 2369.1 | Yep... | WEFXEM::COTE | As seen on TV! | Fri Jun 15 1990 11:03 | 4 |
| If the RD-300 has a "local-off" parameter, turn it to "off" and use
a standard MIDI cable to do just what you're suggesting...

| If you DON'T have a "local off" hook the cable up anyhow and play
normally. If everything is working correctly you should find your
polyphony cut in half.

| ... plug the cable into something else and turn the volume completely
down on the RD300.

| Hey! That would be an interesting way to check out the oscillators for
digital integrity. Get an oscilloscope, hook her up with the loopback
(local ON) and play a note. See if you get any chorusing, etc.
Worth a try, right?

Hmmmm. I guess that would be a reasonable candidate to connect
a MIDI-in to a MIDI-out.
Thanks, guys. But... what took you so long?

| 2369.6 | No local-off - another check | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | This is your brain on Unix | Fri Jun 15 1990 17:09 | 13 |
| The RD-300 does not have any "local off" capability.
The best suggestion so far is to do the loop back and see if it
cuts down on your polyphony.
One other test you can do is issue a patch change from the RD-300
and see if the selected sound changes.
To issue a patch change, I believe you hold down either the UPPER (or
LOWER) button and press the any of the keyboard keys for patch change
(it says what it does right above the key).

| 2369.7 | What's the difference? | WACHU2::HERTZBERG | I knew that | Fri Jun 15 1990 18:44 | 17 |
| � The RD-300 does not have any "local off" capability.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the meaning of "local off" or the meaning
of "Internal Voice ON/OFF." The RD-300 manual says:
You can select whether or not to transmit the Key information
of the Upper and/or the Lower to the internal sound module.
While holding the Internal Voice Switch (also known as MIDI
receive channel switch) down, push the MIDI Lower Switch (or
the MIDI Upper Switch).
I've tried this. When turned off, the piano generates no sound
on key presses. My whole idea was to see if I could get it to
make sound while in this condition by looping the MIDI-out to
MIDI-in.

| 2369.8 | Sounds like local control switch. | TROA01::HITCHMOUGH | | Sun Jun 17 1990 09:39 | 9 |
| What you describe sounds like local on/off, UNLESS all it does it
disable the internal voices from playing at all..like a MUTE switch.
Putting a standard cable from out to in should do what you're looking
for. If the unit has different send and receive channel capability,
ensure that they are set to the same number.

| 2369.9 | Checked out OK | WACHU2::HERTZBERG | I knew that | Mon Jun 18 1990 11:59 | 8 |
| Thanks for all the suggestions. I was able to check the MIDI out
completely. Playing from the keyboard to the internal modules through
the cable (stopped playing when I unplugged the cable... it does
have a local OFF), selecting voices over the MIDI, mismatching send
and receive channels and it stopped playing, etc., etc., etc. Now
I know the MIDI'll be ready when my pocketbook refills!
