LOCAL ON -> The keyboard is connected to the sound generator.

LOCAL OFF -> The keyboard is disconnected from the sound generator. Keyboard events go only to MIDI OUT connector. Sound generator responds only to messages arriving on MIDI IN connector.

In LOCAL OFF mode, without anything connected to MIDI IN, you won't hear anything when you play on the keyboard (except the thumping of the keys! ).

Good luck on your test.

If you have connected the keyboard to a sequenser (or something else) that echo the Midi Input and send it to the Midi Output, you'll hear sound from the keyboard...
