hey rikki,
i think i have found another one now!!!when you get a chance could you go to midi (f6) then utility, and then select local as off, and tell me if your keyboard still sounds the local sound generator? it doesn't on mine..doesn't matter if local on is on or off, the sd still sounds the sd 1 sounds (i have NO midi cable connected at the in at all, just out to the yamaha module) this board came with 4.0c installed so i might try installing 4.0b and see what happens...
thanks
dennis

i have since found that the non-functioning of the local on tab only occurs when you make all channels '--' in the midi TX page, if they are all set to on (ie channels 1 thru 16) the local on/off works...HUH!!!!!
