1 Control an external device using the EL-400
Using an external MIDI keyboard or MIDI tone generator
● Playing your Electone can cause the MIDI keyboard (or tone generator) to
be played using its own voices, accomplishing thick sound layers. (The
MIDI receive channels of the MIDI keyboard must match the transmit
channels on your Electone.)
● Various messages including the values how far the expression pedal is
pressed down and how hard you play the Electone keyboard can be transmit-
ted as digital data. However, how the external device responds depends on
the external device you have connected.
● The performance on your Electone can be recorded onto your PC using an
appropriate sequencing software. (You need a sequencing software in this
case.)
2 Control the EL-400 using an external device
Using an external MIDI keyboard
● Playing the external MIDI keyboard can cause your Electone to be played
using Electone’s voices. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI keyboard
must match the (fixed) receive channels on your Electone. The channels 1, 2
and 3 for the Upper, Lower and pedal voices, respectively.)
● Also, Keyboard Percussion on your Electone can be played by playing the
external MIDI keyboard. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI key-
board must be channel 15)
● The MIDI data played back by the external PC (using a sequencing soft-
ware) can be played using Electone’s voices. You can use the Electone as
an XG tone generator for computer-based music production. See page 113
for the details to use the EL-400 as an XG tone generator.
NOTE:
You cannot use the M.D.R. and MIDI
function at one time since the M.D.R. is
also connected via MIDI internally.
