III.5. Use two eo•body or more
When using two eo•body, these units should be connected in parallel to the MIDI interface.
It means that the MIDI interface requires 2 MIDI IN and 2 MIDI OUT ports. eo•body has no
merging function. Therefore, two units cannot be connected in serial (but both eo•body on
a unique MIDI IN and OUT using a MIDI merger). If you need more than 2 eo•body, use as
many different MIDI ports as the number of eo•body units.
Our choice not to use merging capabilities was determined by our will to keep a 100% accu-
rate data flow. Unfortunately, MIDI merging may be the source for losing informations pro-
voking undesirable treatment delays. When using two MIDI ports, the delay generated will
always be equal to the use of 16 active inputs, thus with 32 or more active inputs. The com-
puter will merge data without losing information nor generating additional delays.

III.6. Reset eo•body to the factory settings
Should the eo•body need a factory reset, follow these instructions:
- On powering up the eo•body, press the A & B buttons.
> the red LED should flicker.
- Press now the D button.
> The red LED should flicker faster.
- Power down the eo•body.
> The eo•body is reset to factory setting (i.e. controlers 1 to 7 on channel 1).
