system, you'll need to integrate it into your system. Here's a list of items you're likely
to need:
1. standard MIDI cables: refer to the following examples for possible
connection schemes.
2. a basic working knowledge of MIDI. If you're new to all of this, read our
brief MIDI tutorial in Chapter 3.
3. two 2-conductor (unbalanced) audio cables if you plan to route the DG8's
audio to your sound system or audio mixer.

MIDI rig, plug a standard MIDI cable into the DG8's

instruments in your setup, connect
