With a MIDI Patchbay:
If you’re using a MIDI patchbay or “patcher” to connect all of
your MIDI devices centrally, it’s likely that the patcher’s back
panel will have a series of paired 
MIDI OUT
 and 
MIDI IN
 ports for
each device in your rig (the DG8 being one of them).
Connect the DG8’s 
MIDI OUT
 to the 
MIDI IN
 of one of the pairs. The
same pair’s 
MIDI OUT
 connects to the 
MIDI IN
 of the DG8. Consult
the patcher’s Owner’s Manual to find out how it routes MIDI
data among the devices connected to it.
