Use the EL-100 as an XG Tone Generator

You can also use the EL-100 as an XG tone generator since the EL-100 is

compatible with the XG format.

You can play back the commercially available

XG song data with the Electone’s M.D.R., and also play them using an external

sequencer (or sequencing software) and the internal XG tone generator.

The internal tone generator section of the EL-100 is normally set to EL Mode

for playing as an “Electone.”

Sending an appropriate system exclusive message from the sequencing software

(PC) to the EL-100 changes the mode to XG Mode, in which you can use the

Electone as an XG tone generator.

NOTE:

The M.D.R. lets you play back the

commercially available XG song

data and convert the Electone song

data to XG data. For more

information on XG song playback

and data conversion functions, see

page 86, 87.

Send the XG System On message, “F0, 43, 1N*, 4C, 00, 00, 7E, 00,

F7” (Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100.

*N: Device Number (“0” for the EL-100)

Once the XG System On message is received, the internal tone

generator will be in the XG Mode allowing the EL-100 to receive all

the MIDI messages defined by the XG format such as NRPN and Bank

Select.

NOTE:

When you create an XG song data

using a sequencing software, be

sure to insert the XG System On

message at the beginning of the

data. The internal tone generator

mode automatically changes to

XG when you start to play back

the data.

NOTE:

The internal tone generator mode

automatically changes to XG

when you play back commercially

available XG song data.
