Master KBD Song Clock Ext. MIDI Accord1 MIDI Accord2 MIDI Pedal1 MIDI Pedal2 MIDI OFF In this setting, the instrument functions as a "master" keyboard, playing and controlling 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. MIDI System Settings The explanations here apply to the System page in step 4 on page 79.

When Local Control is set to On, the keyboard 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. 80 DGX-670 Reference Manual
