Setting examples
Using the TO HOST terminal
If you want to connect your Electone with a personal computer, a MIDI
interface will be necessary.
However, using a separately available Serial
Cable allows you to directly connect them (between the TO HOST terminal
of your Electone and the Serial Port of the personal computer).
In this case
you need to select one of the HOST SELECT switches to match the
computer type you use.
MIDI
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each
other, by sending and receiving MIDI messages.
On the right underside of the Electone keyboard you will find the MIDI IN/
OUT jacks and TO HOST terminal.
If your Electone is connected with
external devices via these MIDI jacks (with a personal computer via the
TO HOST terminal) and appropriate MIDI settings are done, you can play
an external MIDI device such as synthesizer from your Electone keyboard
or your Electone can be played by an external device such as sequencer (by
a personal computer with a sequencing software installed).
To connect your Electone with an external MIDI device you need to prepare
a pair of MIDI cables (or a serial cable when you connect the Electone
with a personal computer via the TO HOST terminal).
Also, to exchange the data between your Electone and connected MIDI
device you have to match the MIDI transmit/receive channels on both
devices.
See page 155 for the detailed information about the MIDI channel
settings.
