txdave Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I have a pure midi keyboard that I use to play a soft synth (surge xt) running on my laptop I run the sound output of my latptop to my CT-S1 because the speakers on my laptop aren't up to the task. This works great BUT, I'd like to also sometimes use my CT-S1 just to run the surge softsynth. Have the computer render the sound, and play through the CT-S1 speakers. USB MIDI output to my laptop works fine, audio input to the CT-S1 works fine. My problem is the CT-S1 always plays its own tones on top of the softsynth output. Is there a way to disable tone generation on the S1 and just use it as a midi controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Brad Saucier Posted March 8 Solution Share Posted March 8 Yes, turn off local control. It's the lowest F# key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamietopol Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Yes. Press and hold the "Function" button and press the lowest F# to turn on/off "local control." This will shut off the internal sounds from playing. I LOVE using the CT-S1 as a MIDI controller (I use my iPad as a sound source). The key action is terrific (and quiet). I like having the built-in speakers for situations when I don't need lots of volume (practicing, playing with a few friends, etc.). It looks good (available in 3 different colors). It isn't heavy. It is inexpensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
