DGX-670 Reference Manual
In this setting, the instrument functions as a "master" keyboard, playing and con-
trolling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/
sequencer).
All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to
play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external
sequencer.
Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock
instead of the instrument's internal clock. This template should be used when you
wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators
from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you
play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with
the left-hand buttons.
Basically the same as MIDI Accord 1 above, with the exception that the chord/bass
notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as
MIDI note events.
MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially
convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the
chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal
unit.
No MIDI signals are sent or received.
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to On, the key-
board of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal
Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local Control to Off, the keyboard
and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument's tone generator section so
that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this
allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument's internal Voices, and
use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external
tone generator.
