MIDI connection to other sound modules6.3.1
You can use the EUROGRAND to control external sound modules
via MIDI. This allows you to use the keyboard and pedals of the
digital piano to control the sound generators of other synthesiz-
ers or sound modules not equipped with a keyboard. When you
also connect the audio signal of the external sound module to the
EUROGRAND, as described in chapter 6.1, all sounds played in
addition to the sounds of the EUROGRAND can be heard through
the loudspeakers of the digital piano.
The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the
EUROGRAND and an external sound module.

sequencing software
You can operate the EUROGRAND in combination with a sequenc-
ing program such as "Cubase" or "Logic". Sequencing software
gives you a wealth of powerful functions to record and process
MIDI data. For example, you can record serveral tracks to create
complex music pieces. Additional options are the production/print-
ing of sheet music or playback of music pieces. What is more,
you can transfer the data of the built-in music sequencer to your
computer for permanent archiving.
