Page 2: Local Control
It is possible to use the DG8 as a MIDI controller in a MIDI system without playing
its own internal or card sounds by turning Local Control off. In this situation, the
DG8's keyboard becomes a MIDI transmitter only and does not affect the voices.
This feature is particularly useful when playing the DG8 with a sequencer. The
sequencer controls the DG8 while the DG8's keyboard can be used to play another
MIDI instrument. Just be sure that the sequencer (or any device controlling the DG8)
is not "echoing" MIDI notes from the DG8's keyboard back into the DG8 (unless
that's what you want to do).
