MIDI Functions 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." • No sound is output from the DGX-202 when Local ON/OFF is set to OFF. 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 performance 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. • When the Initial Setup Send operation is completed, the DGX202 automatically returns to the previous panel condition. 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). • If External Clock is set to ON, style, song or M.D.B. playback will not start unless external clock are received. 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). G Bulk Data Receive Send the Bulk Data from computer or sequencer to the DGX-202. • Keep in mind that all recorded Song data and One Touch Setting data operations replace the data. 69
