You can produce thicker sound layers. (The MIDI receive channels of the MIDI keyboard must match the transmit channels on your Electone. The Electone performance data are transmitted through the channel 1 for Upper Keyboard, channel 2 for Lower Keyboard and channel 3 for Pedalboard.) q Various messages including the values how far the expression pedal is pressed down and how hard you play the Electone keyboard can be transmitted as digital data. However, how the external device responds depends on the external device you have connected. q The performance on your Electone can be recorded onto your PC using an appropriate sequencing software. (You need a sequencing software in this case.) 9 2 Control the EL-200 using an external device Appendix Using an extenral MIDI k eyboard q Playing the external MIDI keyboard can cause your Electone to be played using Electone's voices. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI keyboard must match the (fixed) receive channels on your Electone. The channels 1, 2 and 3 for the Upper, Lower and pedal voices, respectively.) NOTE: You cannot use the M.D.R. and MIDI function at one time since the M.D.R. is also connected via MIDI internally. q Also, the Keyboard Percussion on your Electone can be played by playing the external MIDI keyboard. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI keyboard must be channel 15.) q The MIDI data played back by the external PC (using a sequencing software) can be played using Electone's voices. You can use the Electone as an XG tone generator for computer-based music production. See page 57 for the details to use the EL-200 as an XG tone generator. 53
