MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows electronic musical instruments to
communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control
Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.

MIDI Messages of the Electone
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: the Channel Messages and System
Messages. Channel Messages consist of data related to the performance on the
keyboard for a specific channel. System Messages consist of data that allows several
MIDI devices to communicate with each other.
Channel Messages
Each time you play the keyboard on the Electone, channel messages (indicating which
keys are played and how strongly) are transmitted via a specific channel. Similarly, the
Electone can be played remotely when receiving this data from an external keyboard.
Note On: Indicates which keys are played with the note numbers 0 through 127.
The reception note range is C-2 (0) – G8 (127), C3 = 60.
Note Off: Generated when a key is released.
Velocity: Indicates how strongly the key is played. The range is 1 – 127.
For more detailed information, see MIDI Data Format on page 226 and MIDI
Implementation Chart on page 236.
• Program Change
Program Change messages allow you to change Voices in the middle of a song. With
these messages you can change the Registrations of the Electone. For more detailed
information, see MIDI Data Format on page 226 and MIDI Implementation Chart on
page 236.
• Control Change
Control Change Messages let you select Voice banks, control the volume, panning,
modulation, portamento time, brightness and various other sound parameters, through
specific Control Change numbers.
For more detailed information on the Control Change messages available on the
Electone, see MIDI Data Format on page 226 and MIDI Implementation Chart on
page 236.
System Messages
• System Exclusive Messages
System Exclusive messages are used to exchange the system and Voice/Registration
data.
