By synchronizing the Electribe ER-1

 and EA-1

 you can enjoy even greater per-

formance possibilities. Here's how you can make the EA-1

 playback in synchroniza-

tion 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 sys-

tem (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

 chan-

nel 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." (Re-

fer to p.38 "Synchronizing the ER-1

 with external

MIDI device.")

7. Press the Play/Pause key of the ER-1

 to start a pat-

tern 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 identically-numbered pattern in synchro-
nization, make the following settings.

• Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT

connector of the EA-1

 to the MIDI IN

connector of the ER-1

.

• Synchronizing the ER-1

 to the EA-1

as master.(Set the EA-1

 to "int," and the

 to "Ext.")

• Set the ER-1

 and EA-1 to the same MIDI

channel (for example, set both to "01").

• On the ER-1

 and EA-1, set the MIDI fil-

ter setting "P" to "O" (refer to p.41 "MIDI fil-
ter settings").

• On the ER-1

, set the MIDI note number

setting to C-1...A-1 or A#8...G9 (refer to p.40
"Settings 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

sequencer or synthesizer that can transmit and receive MIDI Clock messages.
