20 DG8 REFERENCE MANUAL
THE DG8 IN A MUSIC SYSTEM
If you plan to use the DG8 with other MIDI instruments and devices in a music
system, you’ll need to integrate it into your system. Here’s a list of items you’re likely
to need:
1. standard MIDI cables: refer to the following examples for possible
connection schemes.
2. a basic working knowledge of MIDI. If you’re new to all of this, read our
brief MIDI tutorial in Chapter 3.
3. two 2-conductor (unbalanced) audio cables if you plan to route the DG8’s
audio to your sound system or audio mixer.
As a Master: If you intend to use the DG8 as the master controller in your
MIDI rig, plug a standard MIDI cable into the DG8’s
MIDI OUT
port. The other end of this cable should plug into the MIDI IN of
the first slave in the system. If there are several MIDI
instruments in your setup, connect
MIDI THRU from the first slave
to the
MIDI IN of the second device and so forth to create a
“chain”.
