EUROGRAND
6.3.1 MIDI connection to other sound modules
You can use the EUROGRAND to control external sound modules via MIDI. This allows you to use the keyboard and pedals of the digital piano to control the sound generators of other synthesizers or sound modules not equipped with a keyboard. When you also connect the audio signal of the external sound module to the EUROGRAND, as described in chapter 6.1, all sounds played in addition to the sounds of the EUROGRAND can be heard through the loudspeakers of the digital piano.

1)Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the EUROGRAND to the MIDI IN jack of the external sound module.
2)Be sure to set the MIDI transmit/receive channels of both instruments to the same number (see chapter 6.3.3).
3)Connect the audio outputs of the sound module to the LINE IN jacks of the EUROGRAND, if you want to play back the sounds of the external device through the digital piano loudspeakers.
6.3.2MIDI connection to a computer with sequencing software
You can operate the EUROGRAND in combination with a sequencing program such as "Cubase" or "Logic". Sequencing software gives you a wealth of powerful functions to record and process MIDI data. For example, you can record serveral tracks to create complex music pieces. Additional options are the production/print- ing of sheet music or playback of music pieces. What is more, you can transfer the data of the
