Local Control

This function lets you enable or disable keyboard control over the DGX-202's
voices in the Function mode (page 76). This would come in handy, for example,
when recording notes to MIDI sequencer. If you are using the sequencer to play
back the voices of the DGX-202, you would want to set this to "off" — in order to
avoid getting "double" notes, both from the keyboard and from the sequencer.
Normally, when playing the DGX-202 by itself, this should be set to "on."

Using Initial Setup Send with a Sequencer

The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a song
on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the DGX-202. Essentially, this
takes a "snapshot" of the DGX-202 settings and sends that data to the sequencer.
By recording this "snapshot" at the start of the song (before any actual perfor-
mance data), you can instantly restore the necessary settings on the DGX-202 in
the Function mode (page 76). Provided there is a pause in the song, you could
also do this in the middle of a song — for example, completely changing the
DGX-202 settings for the next section of the song.

External Clock

This determines whether the style and song playback functions are controlled by
the DGX-202's internal clock (off) or by MIDI clock data from an external
sequencer or computer (on).
This should be set to on when you want to have style or song playback follow the
external device (such as a rhythm machine or a sequencer). The default setting is
off.
These settings can be made in the Function mode (page 76).

Bulk Data Send

This lets you save important DGX-202 data and settings to another device (such
as a sequencer, computer, or MIDI data filer).
These settings can be made in the Function mode (page 76).
