EUROGRAND

+Demo song and music sequencer data are not transmit- ted via the MIDI output. However, you can transmit a music piece recorded with the built-in music sequencer using the MIDI dump feature (see „Sending music se- quencer data" below).

>Setting the MIDI receive channel

Use this function to set the receive channel on which the EUROGRAND is to receive MIDI data. MIDI devices must transmit and receive on the same MIDI channels to ensure successful MIDI communication. Select the default setting ALL for proper operation in combination with a music computer.

Function: E7.2

Value: ALL, 1-2, 1 ... 16

Description:

ALL: Simultaneous multi-timbral reception of MIDI data on all 16 MIDI channels. (Default setting)

1-2:Reception of MIDI data on channels 1 and 2

1 ... 16: Reception of MIDI data on the specified MIDI channel

+The multi-timbral reception of MIDI data allows you to use the EUROGRAND in combination with a sequencing program as a sound generator for multi-track recordings (see chapter 6.3.2).

>Enable/disable sound generator (Local on/off)

This function allows you to determine whether the built-in sound generator directly plays the notes you play on the keyboard or whether it only responds to MIDI note information received via the MIDI IN jack. The latter setting is quite useful, for example, in sequencer mode. In a closed MIDI chain the looping through of MIDI signals could otherwise lead to double sounds, i.e. when you hit a key on the keyboard, the EUROGRAND plays the note directly only to play it again shortly after, when the MIDI commands sent to the sequencer come back via the MIDI IN of the EUROGRAND. When the EUROGRAND is set to Local Off, the MIDI data are only sent to the sequencer. The notes are played only once when the MIDI signals come back from the sequencer.

Function:

E7.3

Value:

ON, OFF

Description:

 

ON:

Sound generator responds to keyboard and

 

MIDI notes (default setting)

OFF:

Sound generator does not respond to the key-

 

board but to MIDI notes only

>Accept/ignore program changes

Use this function to determine how the EUROGRAND responds to MIDI program change commands. These commands are used, for example, to select sounds of the EUROGRAND using MIDI commands sent from a sequencing program. Conversely, program change commands can be sent via the MIDI output of the EUROGRAND whenever you select a sound in the SOUND SELECT section (see chapter 9.2).

Function:

E7.4

Value:

ON, OFF

Description:

 

ON:

Program change commands are sent and

 

received (default setting)

OFF:

Program change commands are neither sent

 

nor received

>Accept/ignore MIDI controller information

Use this function to determine how the EUROGRAND responds to MIDI controller data. MIDI uses a variety of controller informai- ton to control sound changes (e.g. pedal status, volume, effect intensity).

Function:

E7.5

Value:

ON, OFF

Description:

 

ON:

Controller data are sent and received (default

 

setting)

OFF:

Controller data are neither sent nor received

+The EUROGRAND only responds to the commands listed in the MIDI implementation chart if controller data are enabled (see chapter 9.4).

>MIDI transposition

This function determines whether outgoing MIDI data are transposed independently of the built-in sound generator. This can be useful to play the sounds of an external sound module whose sound generator is controlled from the keyboard of the EUROGRAND in a different pitch than the internal sounds of the

EUROGRAND.

Function: E7.6

Value: -12 ... 12

Description:

0:No transposition of the pitch at the MIDI output (default setting)

1 ...12: Pitch is transposed up by the number of half- tones selected

-1 ...-12:Pitch is transposed down by the number of half- tones selected

+This setting has no effect on the sound generator of the EUROGRAND.>Send control panel settings (snapshot)

Use this function to transmit the current settings of the EUROGRAND (e.g. sounds and effects, channel volume) via the MIDI output. This type of transmission only includes system- exclusive data packages (MIDI dump).

Function: E7.7

Value: -

Description:

1)Connect the EUROGRAND to a computer or hardware sequencer as described in chapter 6.3.2.

2)Set the MIDI sequencer to reception-ready mode.

3)Select the function E7.7 in EDIT mode.

4)Press the +/YES button to execute the transmission.

When the transmission is complete, the display shows END.

+You can send the data back to the EUROGRAND at a later date. To do this, use the MIDI IN jack to connect the EUROGRAND to the device that received the data before. As soon as you start the transmission from the MIDI sequencer, the EUROGRAND will automatically receive the data. Make sure that neither DEMO, EDIT or music sequencer mode is active!
