MIDI Functions
86
Local Control
This function lets you enable or disable keyboard control over the DGX-500/
300’s voices. 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-500/300, 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-500/300 by itself, this should be set to “on.”
1 Select the MIDI operations.
Press the left Overall button, repeatedly if necessary, until MIDI is selected.
2 Select the Local Control parameter.
Press “1” on the numeric keypad to select operation #1, Local Control.
If the LOCAL display appears instead of INITSEND in step #1 above, step
#2 is unnecessary.
3 Press the [+]/[-] buttons.
Set Local Control to on or off, as desired.
