EUROGRAND
Connection to external equipment20
Demo song and music sequencer data are not transmit- +
ted via the MIDI output. However, you can transmit a
music piece recorded with the built-in music sequencer
using the MIDI dump feature (see „Sending music se-
quencer data" below).
Setting the MIDI receive channel >
Use this function to set the receive channel on which the
EUROGRAND is to receive MIDI data. MIDI devices must transmit
and receive on the same MIDI channels to ensure successful MIDI
communication. Select the default setting ALL for proper operation
in combination with a music computer.
Function: E7.2
Value: All, 1-2, 1 ... 16
Description:
All: Simultaneous multi-timbral reception of MIDI
data on all 16 MIDI channels. (Default setting)
1-2: Reception of MIDI data on channels 1 and 2
1 ... 16: Reception of MIDI data on the specified MIDI
channel
The multi-timbral reception of MIDI data allows you to +
use the EUROGRAND in combination with a sequencing
program as a sound generator for multi-track recordings
(see chapter 6.3.2).
Enable/disable sound generator (Local on/off) >
This function allows you to determine whether the built-in sound
generator directly plays the notes you play on the keyboard or
whether it only responds to MIDI note information received via
the MIDI IN jack. The latter setting is quite useful, for example, in
sequencer mode. In a closed MIDI chain the looping through of
MIDI signals could otherwise lead to double sounds, i.e. when you
hit a key on the keyboard, the EUROGRAND plays the note directly
only to play it again shortly after, when the MIDI commands sent
to the sequencer come back via the MIDI IN of the EUROGRAND.
When the EUROGRAND is set to Local Off, the MIDI data are only
sent to the sequencer. The notes are played only once when the
MIDI signals come back from the sequencer.
Function: E7.3
Value: On, Off
Description:
On: Sound generator responds to keyboard and
MIDI notes (default setting)
Off: Sound generator does not respond to the key-
board but to MIDI notes only
Accept/ignore program changes >
Use this function to determine how the EUROGRAND responds
to MIDI program change commands. These commands are
used, for example, to select sounds of the EUROGRAND using
MIDI commands sent from a sequencing program. Conversely,
program change commands can be sent via the MIDI output of
the EUROGRAND whenever you select a sound in the SOUND
SELECT section (see chapter 9.2).
Function: E7.4
Value: On, Off
Description:
On: Program change commands are sent and
received (default setting)
Off: Program change commands are neither sent
nor received
Accept/ignore MIDI controller information >
Use this function to determine how the EUROGRAND responds
to MIDI controller data. MIDI uses a variety of controller informai-
ton to control sound changes (e.g. pedal status, volume, effect
intensity).
Function: E7.5
Value: On, Off
Description:
On: Controller data are sent and received (default
setting)
Off: Controller data are neither sent nor received
The EUROGRAND only responds to the commands +
listed in the MIDI implementation chart if controller data
are enabled (see chapter 9.4).
MIDI transposition >
This function determines whether outgoing MIDI data are
transposed independently of the built-in sound generator. This
can be useful to play the sounds of an external sound module
whose sound generator is controlled from the keyboard of the
EUROGRAND in a different pitch than the internal sounds of the
EUROGRAND.
Function: E7.6
Value: -12 ... 12
Description:
0: No transposition of the pitch at the MIDI output
(default setting)
1 ...12: Pitch is transposed up by the number of half-
tones selected
-1 ... -12: Pitch is transposed down by the number of half-
tones selected
This setting has no effect on the sound generator of +
the EUROGRAND.
Send control panel settings (snapshot) >
Use this function to transmit the current settings of the
EUROGRAND (e.g. sounds and effects, channel volume) via
the MIDI output. This type of transmission only includes system-
exclusive data packages (MIDI dump).
Function: E7.7
Value: -
Description:
Connect the EUROGRAND to a computer or hardware 1)
sequencer as described in chapter 6.3.2.
Set the MIDI sequencer to reception-ready mode.2)
Select the function 3) E7.7 in EDIT mode.
Press the +/YES button to execute the transmission.4)
When the transmission is complete, the display shows End.
You can send the data back to the EUROGRAND at a +
later date. To do this, use the MIDI IN jack to connect
the EUROGRAND to the device that received the data
before. As soon as you start the transmission from the
MIDI sequencer, the EUROGRAND will automatically
receive the data. Make sure that neither DEMO, EDIT or
music sequencer mode is active!
