Synchronized Playback With The Ea-1 - Korg ELECTRIBER ER-1 Owner's Manual

Synchronized playback with the EA-1

By synchronizing the Electribe ER-1 and EA-1 you can enjoy even greater performance
possibilities. Here's how you can make the EA-1 playback in synchronization with the
tempo of the ER-1.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the ER-1 to the
MIDI IN connector of the EA-1. Connect the line output jacks of the ER-1
and the part output jacks of the EA-1 to your mixer or powered monitor
system (amplified speakers).
1. Press the MIDI mode key to move to MIDI mode.
2. Use the cursor [ ][ ] keys to make the parameter se-
lect LEDs indicate MIDI ch.
3. Set the ER-1 channel to "01," and the EA-1 channel to
"02." (Refer to p.40 "MIDI channel settings.")
4. Press the Global mode key to move to Global mode.
5. Use the cursor [ ][ ] keys to make the parameter se-
lect LEDs indicate Clock.
6. Set the ER-1 to "int," and the EA-1 to "Ext." (Refer to
p.38 "Synchronizing the ER-1 with external MIDI de-
vice.")
7. Press the Play/Pause key of the ER-1 to start a pattern
or song. (The Play/Pause key will light.) The EA-1 will
play the pattern or tempo in synchronization with the
tempo of the ER-1.
If you want the ER-1 and EA-1 to play the iden-
tically-numbered pattern in synchronization,
make the following settings.
• Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT
connector of the EA-1 to the MIDI IN con-
nector of the ER-1.
• Synchronizing the ER-1 to the EA-1 as
master.(Set the EA-1 to "int," and the ER-1 to
"Ext.")
• Set the ER-1 and EA-1 to the same MIDI chan-
nel (for example, set both to "01").
• On the ER-1 and EA-1, set the MIDI filter set-
ting "P" to "O" (refer to p.41 "MIDI filter set-
tings").
• On the ER-1, set the MIDI note number set-
ting to C-1...A-1 or A#8...G9 (refer to p.40 "Set-
tings the MIDI note number for each part").
*This will prevent the ER-1 from being
sounded unintentionally when note-on
messages are transmitted.
It is also easy to make the ER-1 playback in synchronization by connecting it to a se-
quencer or synthesizer that can transmit and receive MIDI Clock messages.
