SPECIFICATIONS
The
ELKA ER
33
RACK is a digital programmable synthesizer
module
with
dynamic t
ouch
sensitivity functions and SECOND
TOUCH
(pressure controQ.
The
secret
of
the ER
33
is based on
the
use
of
a digitally
control
-
led
generato
r (DCG). capable
of
generating nine voices.
The digital generator DCG Is
made
up
of

of whi

.
The
memories
conta
ined in
the
RAM
33
Of
ROM
3311
cartridges,
expand
the
internal
memory
of
the
instrument
by
32
Presets.
A
32
character display, guides the
use
of
the various functions,
di
splaying all
the
parameters
wit
h the relative information (HELP
funct
ion)
thereby making
the
use
of
t
he
instrument very
much
easier.
Of extreme importance
in
live playing are the PERFORMANCE
REGISTRATIONS which,
by
means
of
the
16
butt
ons,
allow
the
memorizin
g,
as well
as
the
PRESETS,
of
all the playing facilities
(WHEEL. MULTISPLrT, MIDI. etc.).
Thanks
to
MULTISPlrT,It
is possible to divide
the
keyboard
into
eight
sections,
each
with
it'
s
own
different
timbre
and
MIDI
channel.
This
permits the connection
of
the
ER33
to
a mutti·tract<
sequencer, thereby obtaining surprisingly
real
ist~
orchestral
effects
.

The MIDI (Musical Instrument Interface)
is
a digital Interface
which allows
different
types
of
musical instruments (MIDI com-
patible)
to
communicate with each other.
In
ttle
case
of the ER
33,
this interface permits the transmission
of
the data
of
all
the
outstanding features
of
this
synthesizer
mo-
du
le
to
other Instruments and using the same techniques can r
e-
ceive all the neces.sary MIDI information needed
to
control these
same functions from any other M
IDI
compatible instrument.
MIDI IN M
IDI
OUT and MIDI THRU are the three sockets
by
means

which
the
ER

can
be
connected
to
a keyboard,

the
unit connected to
the
ER
33
does
not
provide all these
fu
nctions, then the ER
33
will only be concerned with the data
transmitted from
that
unit. For example,
If
the
Instrument
does
not
provide for dynamic control, then
the
ER

will n
ot
be

the

t
ed,
the
connecting
of
two
ElKA Instruments
(EK

-
ER33-

also
permit
the

it
is

(PARAME-

The ER

transmits
the
following M
IDI
data (MIDI OUT):
1.

2. PEDAL

3. SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE
To connect
the
ER
33
to
another MIDI instrument you must use
a
MIDI DIN Standard connecting cable, remembering the gene-
ral rule
that
two
instruments can receive
or
transmit from and
to
one
another only
if
the
same
MIDI channel
has
been selected.
