Synchronizing the playback with other ELECTRIBE models
For an even broader range of possibilities, the playback of the EM-1 can be synchro-
nized with other models of the series: the ELECTRIBE•S (ES-1 ), R (ER-1 ), and A (EA-
1 ). Here's how you can make the ES-1 playback in synchronization with the tempo of
the EM-1 .
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the EM-1 to the MIDI IN
connector of the ES-1 . Connect the part output jacks of the EM-1 and the line output
jacks of the ES-1 to your mixer or powered monitor
system (amplified speakers).
1.Press the Global mode key to move to Global
mode.
2.Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to select Clock (the
corresponding LED will light).
3.Set the EM-1 to "int," and the ES-1 to "E t." (Re-
fer to p.46 "Synchronizing the EM-1 with exter-
nal MIDI devices (MIDI Clock).")
4.Press the Play/Pause key of the EM-1 to start a
pattern or song. (The Play/Pause key will light.)
The ES-1 will play the pattern in synchronization
with the tempo of the EM-1 .
If you want the EM-1 and ES-1 to play the identi-
cally-numbered pattern in synchronization, make
the following settings.
• Synchronizing the ES-1 to the EM-1 as master.(Set
the EM-1 to "int," and the ES-1 to "E t.")
• Set the EM-1 and ES-1 to the same MIDI channel
(for example, set both to "01").
• On the EM-1 and ES-1 , set the MIDI filter setting
"P" to "O" (refer to p.47 "MIDI filter settings").
• On the ES-1 , set the MIDI note number setting
to C-1...A-1 or A#8...G9 . (This will prevent the ES-
1 from being sounded unintentionally when note-
on messages are received.
It is also easy to make the EM-1 playback in syn-
chronization by connecting it to a sequencer or syn-
thesizer that can transmit and receive MIDI Clock
messages.
