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.

5
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)

6
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 specic 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, shufe,
scale, or going to an specic mode. Example of ‘selected’ can be STEP MODE
SELECTED, when we go to the step mode conguration 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 specic 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 congured)
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
conguration 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 conguration 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 modied in the MIDI IN conguration
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 specic MIDI
channel will be played or recorded in a specic 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)

MIDI IN Route
Here YOU dene which Eloquencer tracks are working as a MIDI to Gate and CV
interface. Move the encoder to choose the track, push the encoder, choose the MIDI
channel, and press the encoder again to conrm.
Controller rotary type
Here you dene how the Eloquencer will understand the CCs coming from the MIDI
controller. In most cases we can decided if the rotary acts in Absolute or in
Incremental mode. There are some cases that only can be congured in Incremental
(see Appendix 1 - CC in tables).
Absolute – The Eloquencer expects a potentiometer/fader behavior, that means
if the MIDI controller is in its minimum position it will send a value of 0, as we turn
(Clockwise) the potentiometer the MIDI controller will send absolute values of its
position, at the end it will reach its maximum position, sending a value of 127.
Incremental – The Eloquencer expects differential values, anything above 64 will
be understood as a positive increment, so if the Eloquencer receives a value of 68,
will understand it as a +4 increment (68 -64 = 4). Any value below 64 will be under-
stood as a negative increment, for example if the Eloquencer receives a value of 58
it will be understood as a -6 increment (58-64).
This behavior can be specied independently for most of the MIDI CC CONTROL
parameters.
All can be changed at the same time using ‘Change all to: Incr./Abs’
Incremental rotary sensitivity
This parameter is used to establish the amount of detents (clicks) on a rotary encoder
that have to turn before a value changes one unit. For example if we congure it at
1 that means that one detent in the encoder will increase one value, if we congure
it at 4 means that we need 4 detents in the encoder to increase one value.
Controller feedback
This parameter is used to determine if the EME will send feedback information to a
MIDI Controller, this parameter only needs to be active if we are using a USB MIDI
controller with LEDS for the push buttons and the rotaries.

10
MIDI OUT
This functionality allows to route your Eloquencer sequence
information of a particular track to a specic MIDI channel and message type. So
every time that you have a GATE event in your sequence, this event will be transform
to a MIDI message using the step CV value.
There are 3 different types of messages that we can choose:
• VOICE: Messages related with a voice, ‘note’ will send ‘note on’ and ‘note off’ to
the MIDI output, velocity will add velocity information to a ‘note’ event. Velocity
will only work if we have another track with the same MIDI channel assigned with
‘type: VOICE / value: NOTE’.
• CC: In this case we transform the track sequence information into a CC value,
dening Channel and CC number.
• PGMCH: The information contained in the track sequence will be transform into a
PGMCH value, in this case we dene Channel and Bank.
In order to allow a correct sequence of events you must establish the order in which
the MIDI events are output. You must rst send the PGMCH messages (this way the
preset change will take place before the ‘note on’ message arrives), then the CC
message and nally the ‘note on’ message.
Load / Save EME conguration
Any of the parameters mentioned above need to be saved if we want them cong-
ured next time we power up the synth.
To LOAD a MIDI conguration choose the conguration (from 1 to 16) using the
steps buttons, choose LOAD using the rotary encoder, press the rotary encoder, and
conrm the security question.
To SAVE a MIDI conguration choose the conguration (from 1 to 16) using the
steps buttons, choose SAVE using the rotary encoder, press the rotary encoder, and
conrm the security question.
