Synchronizing with an EA-1 or ER-1

By synchronizing the ES-1with other ELECTRIBE models such as the EA-1
or ER-1, you can obtain an even wider range of expressive possibilities. Here
we will explain how you can make the EA-1and ER-1play back in synchro-
nization with the tempo of the ES-1.
Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI OUT connector of
the ES-1to the MIDI IN connector of the EA-1, and the
MIDI THRU connector of the EA-1to the MIDI IN con-
nector of the ER-1. Also connect the line out jacks of the
ES-1and ER-1, and the part out jacks of the EA-1, to your	MIDI OUT
mixer or powered monitors (speakers with built-in amp).

2.Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to make the parameter se- lect LED indicate Clock.

3.Set the ES-1to “Int” and the EA-1and ER-1to “E t” (☞p.38 “Synchronizing the ES-1with an external MIDI device”).

4.Press the Play/Pause key of the ES-1to start the pat- tern or song (the Play/Pause key will light). The EA-1and ER-1will play the pattern or song in synchroniza- tion with the tempo of the ES-1.

If you want the ES-1to play the identically-numbered pattern in synchronization, make the following settings.

•Set the ES-1to “int” (master), and the EA-1and ER-1to “E t” (slave).

•Select the same MIDI channel for the ES-1, EA-1, and ER-1. (For example, select “01” for all three.)

•On the EA-1and ER-1, set the MIDI Filter parameter “P” to “O.” (☞ the EA-1 and ER- 1 owner’s manuals.)

•On the ES-1, set the MIDI Note Number parameter to C-1—A-1or A 8—G9so that no conflict occurs. (☞p.54 “MIDI note number settings for each part (Note No.)”). *This will prevent the EA-1and ER-1from being sounded unintentionally when note-

on messages are transmitted.

Another easy way to obtain synchronized playback is to connect the ES-1to a sequencer or synthesizer that can transmit and receive MIDI Clock messages.
