7. MIDI mode
In MIDI mode you can make MIDI-related settings, and dump
exclusive data. To enter MIDI mode, press the MIDI mode key.
To leave MIDI mode, press a different mode key.
If you turn off the power without Writing, the settings
you made in MIDI mode will be lost. If you wish to keep
the modified settings, you must execute the Write op-
eration (refer to p.42 "Saving the settings you modify in
MIDI mode").
Setting the MIDI channel of
part 1 (MIDI ch)
MIDI ch 1...16
This sets the MIDI channel of part 1. The same MIDI channel is
used for both transmission and reception. With the factory set-
tings this will be "1."
1. Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi-
cate MIDI ch.
2. Rotate the dial to select the channel.
Program changes and exclusive data will be transmit-
ted and received on the MIDI channel you specify here.
Setting the MIDI channel of
part 2 (P2 ch)
P2 ch 1...16
This sets the MIDI channel of part 2. The same MIDI channel is
used for both transmission and reception. With the factory set-
tings this will be "2."
1. Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi-
cate P2 ch.
2. Rotate the dial to select the channel.
If part 1 and part 2 are set to the same channel, the sounds of
part 1 and part 2 will be heard simultaneously when controlled
from an external MIDI device.
Transmit/receive dump
data (MIDI Data Dump)
Dump Ptn, SnG, ALL
Transmission
Here's how system exclusive data (pattern data, song data, or
Global mode settings) can be transmitted from the EA-1 to an
external MIDI data filer or computer connected to the MIDI
OUT connector.
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the EA-1 to the MIDI
IN connector of an external MIDI device that is able to re-
ceive MIDI data dumps (another EA-1, or a computer that is
running a MIDI data filer program or editing program, etc.).
2. Set the MIDI channel of the external MIDI device and the
EA-1 to match. However when transmitting to a data filer, it
is not normally necessary to match the MIDI channel.
3. Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi-
cate Dump.
4. Rotate the dial to select the data that you wish to transmit.
Ptn: All pattern data
SnG: All song data
ALL: All data (pattern data, song data, Global data)
5. Press the Play/Pause key to transmit the data dump.
Reception
Here's how EA-1 system exclusive data can be received from
an external MIDI data filer or computer connected to the MIDI
IN connector.
1. Connect the MIDI IN connector of the EA-1 to the MIDI OUT
connector of the external MIDI device that will transmit the
MIDI data dump (another EA-1, or a computer that is run-
ning a MIDI data filer program or editing program, etc.).
2. Set the MIDI channel of the external MIDI device and the
EA-1 to match. However when transmitting from a data filer,
it is not normally necessary to match the MIDI channel.
3. Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi-
cate Dump.
4. Transmit the data dump from the external MIDI device.
Details on data dumps are provided in the MIDI implementa-
tion chart of the EA-1.
Consult your local Korg distributor for more information on
MIDI implementation
Do not touch the keys of the EA-1 while a data dump is
in progress.
When the parameter select LEDs indicate Dump, sys-
tem exclusive data can be transmitted or received even
if the MIDI Filter parameter "E" is set to "-."
If the MIDI Filter parameter "E" is set to "O," system
exclusive data can be transmitted or received in any
mode.
