Poly and Omni means the MIDI modes, eg. Poly to receive on a specific
channel, Onmi to receive on all channels. You can't change this on the panel
or the MPG-80, only with MIDI messages (so says the manual and I also found
no other way to do this).

This could be one solution. The classic local off means a disconnection
between the keyboard and the voice engines. The MKS-80 has no keyboard, so
the guy may ask for a mode in which panel changes will be sent to MIDI
without affecting the current patch. This cannot be done with the MKS-80
with or w/o the MPG-80.
