EUROGRAND 5.6.5 Saving parameter settings 5.6.6 Restoring the factory default settings The EUROGRAND allows you to save the changes made to the instrument’s settings, so that they won’t get lost when the unit is powered down. When the save function is not active, all changes made to the settings – except for the music sequencer data – will be lost when you switch the piano off. When switched back on, the EUROGRAND recalls the factory default settings.
EUROGRAND 6. Connection to external equipment The EUROGRAND provides a variety of connectors for connecting the instrument to external devices. Caution + Be sure that all devices are switched off before you make any connection. + NEVER connect the LINE IN connectors of the EUROGRAND to its LINE OUT connectors. This will cause a feedback loop producing high volume levels which could damage both the instrument and your hearing! 6.
EUROGRAND 6.3.1 MIDI connection to other sound modules You can use the EUROGRAND to control external sound modules via MIDI. This allows you to use the keyboard and pedals of the digital piano to control the sound generators of other synthesizers or sound modules not equipped with a keyboard. When you also connect the audio signal of the external sound module to the EUROGRAND, as described in chapter 6.
EUROGRAND + Demo song and music sequencer data are not transmitted via the MIDI output.

EUROGRAND 9. Appendix 9.1 Cables Below you will find an overview of all cables you need to connect your digital piano. The cables are not supplied with the piano. Depending on the intended use, adapter cables will be necessary to interface the various connectors. You can use adapter cables or plugs (e.g. 1/4" to cinch). Cable adapters are better than adapter plugs, as the latter may affect the signal quality due to insufficient contact of the plugs with each other. 9.1.
