Synchronizing the playback with other ELECTRIBE models

For an even broader range of possibilities, the playback of the EM-1 can be synchro-
nized with other models of the series: the ELECTRIBE•S

(ES-1

), R (ER-1

), and A (EA-

). Here's how you can make the ES-1

playback in synchronization with the tempo of

the EM-1 .
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the EM-1 to the MIDI IN
connector of the ES-1

. Connect the part output jacks of the EM-1 and the line output

jacks of the ES-1

to your mixer or powered monitor

system (amplified speakers).

1.Press the Global mode key to move to Global

mode.

2.Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to select Clock (the

corresponding LED will light).

3.Set the EM-1 to "

int

," and the ES-1

to "

E t

." (Re-

fer to p.46 "Synchronizing the EM-1 with exter-
nal MIDI devices (MIDI Clock).")

4.Press the Play/Pause key of the EM-1 to start a

pattern or song. (The Play/Pause key will light.)
The ES-1

will play the pattern in synchronization

with the tempo of the EM-1 .

If you want the EM-1 and ES-1

to play the identi-

cally-numbered pattern in synchronization, make
the following settings.

• Synchronizing the ES-1

to the EM-1 as master.(Set

the EM-1 to "

int

," and the ES-1

to "

E t

.")

• Set the EM-1 and ES-1

to the same MIDI channel

(for example, set both to "

").

• On the EM-1 and ES-1

, set the MIDI filter setting

" to "

" (refer to p.47 "MIDI filter settings").

• On the ES-1

, set the MIDI note number s e t t i n g

to C-1...A-1

or A#8...G9

. (This will prevent the ES-

from being sounded unintentionally when note-

on messages are received.

It is also easy to make the EM-1 playback in syn-
chronization by connecting it to a sequencer or syn-
thesizer that can transmit and receive MIDI Clock
messages.
