• Local control refers to the fact that normally the psr 520 keyboard controls the internal tone generator allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard this situation is local control on since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard local control can be turned off however so that the keyboard does not play the internal voices but the appropriate midi information is still trans mitted via the midi out connector when notes are played on the key board at the same time the internal tone generator can respond to midi information received via the midi in connector this means that while an external midi sequencer for example plays the psr 520 internal voices an external tone generator can be played from the psr 520 keyboard the default local control setting is on p.75

• The existing midi protocol allows performance and other data to be transferred between different instruments even if they are from different manufacturers this means for example that sequence data that was originally created to con trol a tone generator from manufacturer a can also be used to control a different tone generator from manufacturer b since the voice allocation in different devices from different manufacturers is usually different however appropriate program change data must be transmitted to select the right voices the general midi protocol was developed to minimize confusion and the need for re programming when playing software created by one midi device on another this has been achieved by defining a standard voice allocation in which the same or similar voices are accessed by the same program change numbers or midi channels the current standard recognized by the international midi association is known as gm system level 1 the psr 520 voice allo cation complies with the p.91
