Chapter 2: Playing the DG8
DG8 REFERENCE MANUAL 39
• The default split-point is key “C2”, the C that is one octave below Middle C:
• To change the split point press the SET SPLIT button, then press any key on the
DG8’s keyboard. This key will be the highest note of the bass range. This will
also be the Split Point for all Splits until it is changed. And remember: you
have two seconds to set your new split point when you press the
SET SPLIT
button. After two seconds, the display reverts back to the program display,
leaving the current split point unchanged.
Tip: You can also use the ▲ or ▼ arrows to set the split point. To reset the split point
back to C2, press the ▲ and ▼ arrows together while this display is being shown.
• To exit Split mode, press the SPLIT/OFF button. The DG8 will keep the Primary
Sound used in the Split, and the cursor will move to the Primary Sound name.
Split-with-Layer
When a Split is being played, you can set up a Layer to be played from the upper key
range instead of just a single Primary sound.
• Set up a Split following the procedure for Splits on the previous page.
• Press and hold the LAYER/OFF button and press any of the Keyboard Bank
buttons. Use the
▲ and ▼ arrows to select the desired Keyboard Program in the
Bank to be the Layer for the upper key range (this procedure is the same as
selecting a Layer for the whole keyboard).
• To exit the Split (and keep the Layer), press SPLIT/OFF.
To exit the Layer (and keep the Split), press
LAYER/OFF.
To exit both Layer and Split modes to return the DG8 to Single mode, press
LAYER/OFF and SPLIT/OFF.
Tip: Note that you don’t have to create a Split first to play a Layer. If the DG8 is
already playing a Layer, just press a Bass Bank and you’re there. (We could
have easily called this “Layer-with-Split”.)
