NOTE: The M.D.R. section of the EL-700/500 allows you to play back the commercially available XG song data and convert the data created by the EL700/500 to the XG compatible data. See page 97 for more information. 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. Appendix 14 163

Use the EL-700/500 as an XG Tone Generator
You can also use the EL-700/500 as an XG tone generator since the EL-700/
500 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-700/500 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-700/500 changes the mode to XG Mode, in which
you can use the Electone as an XG tone generator.
1
Send the XG System On message, “F0, 43, 1N, 4C, 00, 00, 7E, 00,
F7” (Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-
700/500.
* N: Device Number (“0” for the EL-700/500)
Once the XG System On message is received, the internal tone
generator will be in the XG Mode allowing the EL-700/500 to all the
MIDI messages defined by the XG format such as NRPN and Bank
Select.
NOTE:
The M.D.R. section of the EL-700/500
allows you to play back the
commercially available XG song data
and convert the data created by the EL-
700/500 to the XG compatible data.
See
page 97 for more information.
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.
