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-500/300.
Essentially,
this takes a “snapshot” of the DGX-500/300 settings and sends that data to the
sequencer.
By recording this “snapshot” at the start of the song (before any actual
performance data), you can instantly restore the necessary settings on the DGX-
500/300.
Provided there is a pause in the song, you could also do this in the mid-
dle of a song — for example, completely changing the DGX-500/300 settings for
the next section of the song.
