Hi, I have the Yamaha PSR-EW310 and would like to just use it to control a midi instrument in my DAW (Reaper), and have the audio from the DAW playback on the keyboard’s speakers without having the keyboard’s native sound be played to. Is there anyway to do this? I can’t seem to find it in the manual.
Hi. I think you should go to the Reaper forum. Here
What you’re looking for is what is commonly referred to as “local control.” Effectively, if you turn local control off, it will disable the built-in instrument sounds. I use this function regularly and play on multiple keyboards (Yahama, Korg, Casio, to be precise) and have found that they all use the same terminology. Refer to page 54 of your manual to find the details.
