GUIDEBOOK

Read

This

If

You

Intend

To

Use

MIDI

To

Join

Your

Keyboard

With

Other

Electronic

Instruments

or

Computers

The

term

MIDI

is

an

acronym

for

the

"Musical

Instrument

Digital

Interface."

MIDI

is

a

standard

that

was

created

to

allow

electronic

musical

instruments,

computers

and

other

devices

to

com-

municate

with

each

other.

The

great

majority

of

contemporary

electronic

instruments

provide

MIDI

compatibility.

A

device

equipped

with

MIDI

is

easily

identified

by

the

fact

that

it

has

one

or

more

MIDI

Connectors.

in

order

to

share

performance

information

with

other

units,

cables

need

to

be

connected

using

these

connectors.

The

ep-3

has

a

MIDI

IN

connector,

used

to

receive

MIDI

messages;

and

a

MIDI

OUT

connector,

from

which

it

sends

messages.

The

MIDI

feature

makes

possible

applications

such

as

below:

e

The

notes

you

play

on

the

ep-3

can

be

relayed

and

sounded

simultaneously

on

other

MIDI-

equipped

instruments

or

sound

module

(*1).

e

The

ep-3

can

be

sounded

under

the

control

of

another

MIDI-

equipped

keyboard,

or

a

sequencer

(*2).

e

Everything

you

play

on

the

ep-3

can

be

recorded

into

a

sequencer

(*2).

(*1)

A

sound

module

is

a

device

which

generates

sound

as

a

result

of

whatever

information

it

receives

at

its

MIDI

IN

connector.

In

appearance

it

is

often

box-like.

Among

Roland

products

the

MT-32

is

probably

the

most

well

known.

(*2)

A

sequencer

is

a

device

which

is

capable

of

recording

and

playing

back

MIDI

messages.

The

PR-100

Recorder

is

a

representative

example

of

a

Roland

sequencer.

There

is

also

the

MT-100,

which

combines

a

sequencer

and

sound

module

in

the

same

unit.

This

connector

is

where

MIDI

messages

are

received.

If

you

wish

to

have

the

ep-3

be

played

as

a

result

of

messages

sent

by

a

MIDI

se-

quencer

or

other

external

unit,

connect

a

cable

so

it

runs

from

here

to

the

MIDI

OUT

connector

on

the

external

device.

From

this

connector

MIDI

messages

are

trans-

mitted.

If

you

wish

to

use

the

ep-3

to

play

the

sounds

of

another

MIDI

compatible

unit,

such

as

a

sound

module;

or

want

to

send

the

infor-

mation

describing

what

you

play

to

a

sequencer

for

recording,

connect

a

cable

so

it

runs

from

here

to

the

MIDI

IN

connector

on

the

external

device.

In

order

to

make

the

connections

between

the

connectors

on

two

units,

you

will

need

to

have

at

least

one

MIDI

Cable.
