Synchronized playback with the ER-1
By synchronizing the Electribe EA-1 and ER-1 you can enjoy even greater performance possibilities.
Here's how you can make the ER-1 playback in synchronization with the tempo of the EA-1.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the EA-1 to the MIDI IN connector of the
ER-1. Connect the part output jacks of the EA-1 and the line output jacks of the ER-1 to your mixer or
powered monitor system (amplified speakers).
1. Press the MIDI mode key to move to MIDI mode.
2. Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate MIDI ch.
3. Set the EA-1 channel to "01," and the ER-1 channel to "10." (Refer
to p.41 "Setting the MIDI channel of part 1.", "Setting the MIDI
channel of part 2.")
4. Press the Global mode key to move to Global mode.
5. Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to make the parameter se-
lect LEDs indicate Clock.
6. Set the EA-1 to "int," and the ER-1 to "Ext." (Refer to
p.39 "Synchronizing the EA-1 with external MIDI de-
vice.")
7. Press the Play/Pause key of the EA-1 to start a pattern
or song. (The Play/Pause key will light.) The ER-1 will
play the pattern in synchronization with the tempo of
the EA-1.
If you want the EA-1 and ER-1 to play the identi-
cally-numbered pattern in synchronization,
make the following settings.
• Synchronizing the ER-1 to the EA-1 as
master.(Set the EA-1 to "int," and the ER-1
to "Ext.")
• Set the EA-1 and ER-1 to the same MIDI
channel (for example, set both to "01").
• On the EA-1 and ER-1, set the MIDI filter
setting "P" to "O" (refer to p.42 "MIDI filter
settings").
• On the ER-1, set the MIDI note number
setting to C-1...A-1 or A#8...G9. (This will
prevent the ER-1 from being sounded un-
intentionally when note-on messages are
received.
It is also easy to make the EA-1 playback in
synchronization by connecting it to a se-
quencer or synthesizer that can transmit and
receive MIDI Clock messages.
