Introduction
EME (Eloquencer MIDI Expansion) is the perfect companion for the Eloquencer,
adding capabilities to sync with MIDI devices, controlling most of the eloquencer
parameters with MIDI interfaces, generating MIDI voices from the eloquencer tracks,
and converting MIDI signals to the eurorack world.
It provides 6 main features:
• MIDI Synchronization: MIDI CLK IN and OUT.
• MIDI Control: This feature allows a MIDI controller with mapped CCs to modify
many of the Eloquencer parameters.
• MIDI controller keyboard: This feature allows a MIDI controller to introduce notes
in LIVE REC mode or FREE PLAY mode
• MIDI in route: MIDI to Gate and CV interface for any of the Eloquencer tracks.
• MIDI out: Internal Eloquencer sequences can be routed to the MIDI output as a
voice message (note on/off, velocity), CC or Program Change.
• Assignable buttons: These 4 buttons allow you to personalize the Eloquencer with
your favorite functions.

Installation
Before you can start making music, you’ll need to do two important things:
1. Upgrade the Eloquencer (if you have 1.2.0 or below)
2. Physically link the Eloquencer and EME.
Updating the Eloquencer
To run the EME, the Eloquencer will need to be updated with 1.3.0 or higher
version. The downloader and instructions can be found on our github page:
https://github.com/enoughframes/ELOQUENCER___UPDATER
*** Note : Make sure you are using a USB Data Transfer cable as opposed to a USB charging
cable. Some people have encountered issues because of this. If the updater does not detect
the eloquencer close the updater, try another USB cable and run the application again.
Connecting Eloquencer and EME
Connect the EME with the Eloquencer using
the 4 pin cable provided. On the EME
module, the cable connector has two plastic
arrows that match into the plastic socket rails
in the module. This feature makes it
convenient to connect cable to the EME since
it can only be connected in a single direction.
4
When connecting the Eloquencer module to the EME it is necessary to check the
unit’s serial number. Serial numbers above 4999 have the same mono-directional
cable connection as the EME. (see below)
If you have an Eloquencer with serial number below 5000, you will have to connect
the cable in the SV2 position, making sure the two small plastic arrows are facing
out. (see below)
5
If you have one of the rst units (serial number starting with 1) you will notice that
the connector has rounded pins. While these work well, you may nd that it ts a bit
loose. Because of this, we recommend you pay attention when moving your case you
make sure this connector is still attached.
If you prefer a more permanent solution, there are more secure ways to attach this
connector. You can use a small drop of cyanocrilate to adhere cable to the
connector, or you can replace the 4 rounded pins attached to the eloquencer for 4
squared pins. (you will need a solder iron and minimum soldering skills)
Note: the serial number is on the rear
part, beside the power connector.
Once the Eloquencer and the EME are
connected, power up the system.
The eloquencer will take a few seconds
to identify the EME. If the update has
gone successfully and the physical
connection is ok, the message
‘Exp 2 : EME’ should appear in
the Power Up Status display.

MIDI IN
The eloquencer can receive MIDI message for different purposes:
• MIDI IN clock and transport (DIN5) – The EME can receive standard MIDI clock
(24 ppqn) and Start / Stop messages.
• MIDI control (USB and DIN5)– Eloquencer can receive MIDI CC messages from
a MIDI controller to control the Eloquencer parameters. There is a list of CCs and
channels that can be used to control specic Eloquencer parameters (see
Appendix 1 - CC in tables).
There are three main types of control: global, focus and track.
• GLOBAL – All the CC messages received in MIDI Channel 1 are global messages,
those are related with generic Eloquencer parameters, or in some cases with
‘selected’ parameters. Examples of global parameter can be tempo, shufe,
scale, or going to an specic mode. Example of ‘selected’ can be STEP MODE
SELECTED, when we go to the step mode conguration you can select which
tracks you are modifying, so sending CH1 CC34 will be modifying the STEP
MODE in this selected group of tracks.
• FOCUS – All the CC messages received in CH2 are FOCUS channel, so we will
be modifying the focused track. For example if you press track A in the
Eloquencer, and you send a value in CH2 CC39 (TRACK SHIFT FOCUS) you will
be track shifting track A, then you press track H button and send again CC39 in
CH2 message and you will be track shifting track H.
• TRACK – All the CC MIDI messages received between CH9 and CH16 will be
understood to control an specic Eloquencer Tracks.
CH 9 > TRACK A
CH 10 > TRACK B
CH 11 > TRACK C
CH 12 > TRACK D
CH 13 > TRACK E
CH 14 > TRACK F
CH 15 > TRACK G
CH 16 > TRACK H
For example, sending CH9 CC71 value 127 will mute Track A, sending CH10 CC71
value 127 will mute Track B.

MIDI Keyboard (USB and DIN5)
A Keyboard MIDI controller can be used to send ‘note on’ and ‘note off’
messages to:
• MIDI IN REC – To record notes to the sequence
• FREE PLAY – To send ‘note on’ and ‘note off’ MIDI messages to analog outputs
(Gate and CV) or to the assigned MIDI output for the focused track (in case the
focused track has a MIDI output congured)
MIDI IN route (USB and DIN5)
This functionality allows to use the Eloquencer as a MIDI to GATE and CV interface,
that means that all the ‘note on’ and ‘note off’ MIDI messages received in the
chosen MIDI channel will be transformed into GATE and CV value for the chosen
Track. In this case if we chose something different from ‘none’ in the MIDI IN route
conguration the information contained in the Eloquencer sequence won’t be listen
anymore, and the GATE and CV outputs of the track will only change if a ‘note on’
or ‘note off’ message is received in the chosen MIDI channel.
To access the MIDI IN conguration press and hold FUNC (in the Eloquencer) +
BTN4 (in the EME), and go to MIDI IN
Find below the list of parameters that can be modied in the MIDI IN conguration
section:
Key REC
Here we decide which channel are we going to listen/record while being in MIDI IN
REC or FREE PLAY (LIVE REC). There are two main possibilities:
CH1 to 8: All the ‘note on’ and ‘note off’ MIDI messages received in a specic MIDI
channel will be played or recorded in a specic track as shown below:
CH 1 > TRACK A
CH 2 > TRACK B
CH 3 > TRACK C
CH 4 > TRACK D
CH 5 > TRACK E
CH 6 > TRACK F
CH 7 > TRACK G
vCH 8 > TRACK H
FOCUS : All the ‘note on’ and ‘note off’ MIDI messages received in the chosen MIDI
channel will be played or recorded on the current focused track (from A to H)
