12 MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a kind of communication system for electronic musical instruments. It is built into most every modern digital musical instrument and allows different instruments to "talk" to each other and control each other's functions. For example, the Upper keyboard of your Electone could be used to play sounds on a connected synthesizer. In another application, a rhythm machine can be programmed to play its rhythms in perfect synchronization with the tempo set on the Electone. To use the MIDI functions you must, of course, have a second MIDI device (such as a synthesizer or rhythm machine), and a set of MIDI cables. For more information see page 158. To select the MIDI page: Press the EXP. PITCH/MIDI button (PITCH/MIDI button for EL-500) in the DISPLAY SELECT section, and select the MIDI page with the Page buttons.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a kind of communication system for electronic musical
instruments.
It is built into most every modern digital musical instrument and allows different instruments
to “talk” to each other and control each other’s functions.
For example, the Upper keyboard of your Electone
could be used to play sounds on a connected synthesizer.
In another application, a rhythm machine can be
programmed to play its rhythms in perfect synchronization with the tempo set on the Electone.
To use the
MIDI functions you must, of course, have a second MIDI device (such as a synthesizer or rhythm machine),
and a set of MIDI cables.
For more information see page 158.
To select the MIDI page:
Press the EXP. PITCH/MIDI button (PITCH/MIDI button for EL-500) in the
DISPLAY SELECT section, and select the MIDI page with the Page buttons.

Output (Transmit) Channels
For setting the channels over which MIDI information will be
transmitted.
Any channel from 1 through 16 can be assigned to
each keyboard, the Upper keyboard, the Lower keyboard and the
Pedalboard
UPPER: 1 - 16
LOWER: 1 - 16
PEDAL: 1 - 16
The MIDI receive channel of each connected MIDI device should match the
numbers set here.
Receive Channels
When using another MIDI device to play the Electone’s voices, you
must set the MIDI transmit channel(s) of the connected device to
match the receive channel(s) of the Electone.
The MIDI receive
channels of the Electone are fixed to the following values:
Upper= 1, Lower= 2 and Pedal= 3.
The MIDI transmit channel of each connected MIDI device should
match the above numbers.
