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
5
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.

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.

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#.
