24 EUROGRAND EG2280USB/EG8280USB User Manual
Demo song and music sequencer data are not transmitted 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 sequencer data” below).
Setting the MIDI receive channel•
Use this function to set the receive channel on which the EG2280USB/EG8280USB
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:
A ll: Simultaneous multi-timbral reception of MIDI data
on all 16 MIDI channels. Also known as "Omni" mode.
(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
EG2280USB/EG8280USB 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. A closed MIDI chain may cause the
EG2280USB/EG8280USB to play the same sound twice, before and after it is sent
to an external device.
When the EG2280USB/EG8280USB is set to Local Off, the MIDI data is 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 keyboard but to MIDI
notes only
Accept/ignore program changes•
Use this function to determine how the EG2280USB/EG8280USB responds to
MIDI program change commands. These commands are used, for example,
to select sounds of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB using MIDI commands sent from a
sequencing program. Conversely, program change commands can be sent via the
MIDI output of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB whenever you select a sound in the
TONE 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 EG2280USB/EG8280USB responds to MIDI
controller data. MIDI uses a variety of controller informaiton 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 EG2280USB/EG8280USB 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 EG2280USB/EG8280USB in a different pitch than the internal
sounds of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB.
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 halftones selected
-1 . .. -12: Pitch is transposed down by the number of halftones selected
This setting has no effect on the sound generator of the
EG2280USB/EG8280USB.
Send control panel settings (snapshot)•
Use this function to transmit the current settings of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB
(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 EG2280USB/EG8280USB to 1)
a computer or hardware sequencer as
described in chapter 6.3.2.
Set the MIDI sequencer to 2)
reception-ready mode.
Select the function 3) E7 .7 in EDIT mode.
Press the +/YES button to execute 4)
the transmission.
When the transmission is complete, the display shows End.
You can send the data back to the EG2280USB/EG8280USB at
a later date. To do this, use the MIDI IN jack to connect the
EG2280USB/EG8280USB to the device that received the data before.
As soon as you start the transmission from the MIDI sequencer,
the EG2280USB/EG8280USB will automatically receive the data.
Make sure that neither DEMO, EDIT or music sequencer mode is active!
