Radio and Television Interference

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy.

If not installed and used correctly, that is, in strict accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions, it may cause interfer-

ence to radio and television reception. It has been certified to

comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in

accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of

Operation Manual

the FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference in a residential installa-

tion. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following means:

■Reorient the receiving antenna.

■Relocate the PROFORMANCE away from the receiver.

■Relocate thePROFORMANCE to a different outlet so that

the receiver, drive and instrument are on different branch

circuits.

■Install a rooftop antenna with a coaxial cable lead-in

between the antenna and receiver.

If necessary, the user should consult E-mu Systems or an

experienced radio/television technician for additional

suggestions.

You may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal

Communications Commission helpful: How to Identify and

Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is avail-

able from the U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington,

DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

The PROFORMANCE/1, 16-bit True Stereo Piano Module

provides you with the rich, true-stereo sound of a concert

grand piano at a fraction of the cost of an acoustic piano.

Subtle nuances of the hammers, strings and soundboard are

all captured with amazing detail.

The PROFORMANCE/1 sound is exceptionally realistic and

convincing because the PROFORMANCE/1 is based on ac-

tual stereo recordings of a real Grand Piano. This is similar to

the way a tape recorder works, except that here, the sounds

are permanently recorded on digital memory chips and pro-

cessed using our proprietary custom VLSI (Very Large Scale

Integration) technology. As a result, you can now experience

the rich sound of a $18,000 concert grand at a truly affordable

price.

Both PROFORMANCE/1 and PROFORMANCE/1 + mod-

els feature 16 notes of stereo polyphony and a choice of

several different piano sounds. PROFORMANCE/1 is the

only piano module available with true 16 -bit architecture and

stereo samples.

The PROFORMANCE/1 comes standard with 15 different

preset piano sounds. Each one offers you a different sound

and feel in order to fit your musical style and mood.

The PROFORMANCE/1 + contains grand piano plus the

followingother instruments: acoustic and electric basses, two

electric pianos, tone-wheel organ, and vibes. In addition, the

PROFORMANCE/1 + has a user-definable keyboard split

point, which is used to access two different sounds at once.

PROFORMANCE

CONNECTIONS

POWER

Connect the AC adapter to the 9V AC power jack on the rear

of the PROFORMANCE.

MIDI IN

The PROFORMANCE is controlled by MIDI messages re-

ceived at the MIDI In connector. Connect the MIDI In of the

PROFORMANCE to the MIDI Out of a MIDI controller such

as a MIDI keyboard, MIDI wind controller, or MIDI guitar

controller.

MIDI THRU

The MIDI Thru jack is used to connect additional MIDI

devices onto the MIDI chain. MIDI Thru transmits an exact

copy of the messages received at the MIDI In jack.

MIDI OUT

Used ONLY for MIDI overflow mode. MIDI Out may be

connected to the MIDI In jack of another PROFORMANCE,

which increases the polyphony from 16 to 32 stereo channels.

AUDIO OUTPUTS

The PROFORMANCE is a high quality, stereo audio device.

In order to reproduce its wide dynamic range and frequency

response, use a high quality amplification and speaker sys-

tem such as a keyboard amplifier or home stereo system.

Stereo connection is highly recommended because of the

added realism provided by stereophonic sound. If you have

PROFORMANCE connected in mono, you are only using

half of the circuitry! Headphones may be used if an amplifier

and speaker system is not available. Plug stereo headphones

intotheLeft/Stereooutput jack. The Right/Monooutputjack

serves as a monophonic output when the left jack is not

plugged in.

PROFORMANCE

BASIC OPERATION

■

Power/MIDI Activity LED -

Glows green, indicating that

power is connected and flashes when MIDI data is being

received.

■

Volume Control -

This is the master volume control. The

PROFORMANCE has a relatively high output level in order

to drive headphones. If you hear the sound start to "break up"

or clip, the output level should be reduced using this control.

■

Fine Tune Control -

This control is used to tune the

PROFORMANCE to other instruments. With the control set

in the center detent position, the PROFORMANCE will be

precisely tuned to concert pitch (A=440 Hz). Tuning the

controlclockwise raises the pitchand turning it counterclock-

wise lowers the pitch. The range of this control is ±1/2

semitone, with a resolution of 1 cent (1/100 semitone).

■

Transpose Selector -

Transposes the PROFORMANCE

up or down one octave in semitone increments. It also has

settings to transpose ±1 or 2 octaves. Transpose selections are

referenced to C on the musical scale. With the control set

straight up at C, there is no transposition. The two positions

on either side give 1 and 2 octave transpositions. As the knob

is rotated clockwise, transpose is shiftedup in semitone steps

from C# up to B. When the knob is rotated counterclockwise,

transpose is shifted down in semitone steps from B down to

C#.
