Exchanges the data between EL-200 and
an external device
1 Control an external device using the EL-200
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. You can produce thicker sound layers. (The
MIDI receive channels of the MIDI keyboard must match the transmit
channels on your Electone. The Electone performance data are transmitted
through the channel 1 for Upper Keyboard, channel 2 for Lower Keyboard
and channel 3 for Pedalboard.)
● 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-200 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, the Keyboard Percussion on your Electone can be played by playing
the external MIDI keyboard. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI
keyboard 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 57 for
the details to use the EL-200 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.
