System Messages

System Exclusive Messages
System Exclusive messages are used to exchange the system and voice/
registration data. These allow you to execute bulk dump operation, sending and
receiving all the data of the EL-100 including registrations to and from an
external device. This is especially useful for you to build up the library of the
registration data in a device like a hard disk.
Examples of Exchanging the Data
Use the following examples to send (or receive) the registration data to (or
from) a personal computer (a sequencing software).
First, you need to connect your EL-100 with a personal computer (a
sequencing software) using a Serial Cable or a MIDI cable (page 105).
Send the Registration Data
from the EL-100 to the Personal Computer (PC)
Preparation (Setting up registrations)
1
Set the Strings voice on the Upper Keyboard of the EL-100.
Press STRINGS button on the Upper Keyboard Voice section, and
select String 1 from the Strings Menu.
2
Store the registration to the Registration Memory button 1.
While holding down the M. button Press the Registration Memory
button 1.
Sending the Registration Data
3
Send the Request-to-Send all RAM message, "F0, 43, 70, 70, 10, F7"
(Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100.
Once the EL-100 receives the Request-to-Send all RAM message, the
EL-100 automatically sends all registration data in the all registration
numbers to your PC.
You can store the registration data in a file on your PC.

NOTE:
You also need a sequencing software,
which has been properly installed in the
personal computer, and which can send
and receive system exclusive messages.
NOTE:
Depending on the capacity of your
sequencing software, you may need to
divide the data into two and send them to
the PC separately. If you want to divide,
see page 114, "Data Code to Send" table.
For example,
by changing the message from
"F0,43,70,70,10,F7" (all data) to
"F0,43,70,70,17,F7," the Electone will
send the Keyboard Percussion Assignment
data only.
