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.

Local
On/Off
In
a
setup
where
the
ep-3
is
combined
with
a
se-
quencer,
the
sequencer
would
usually
be
set
at
“Soft
Thru
ON.”
In
this
case,
as
explained
below,
the
ep-3
should
be
set
at
“Local
OFF.”
With
the
cable
connections
between
the
ep-3
and
the
sequencer
made
as
illustrated
below,
what
you
play
can
be
recorded
into
the
sequencer;
and
the
se-
quencer
can
be
played
back
to
hear
a
reproduction
of
what
you
played.
Sequencer
Take
for
example
that
“Soft
Thru”
on
the
sequencer
is
“ON”,
and
Local
is
left
at
“ON”
on
the
ep-3
—
each
note
played
will
then
sound
twice.
This
may
cause
the
music
to
sound
somewhat
strange,
and
can
result
in
some
notes
being
omitted.
Sequencer
Soft
Thru
One
Key
pressed
once,
yet
note
sounds
twice.
The
reason
the
above
occurs
is
because
the
key-
board's
performance
information
reaches
the
sound
source
by
means
of
two
paths:
©
The
ep-3's
internal
circuitry.
@
The
“Soft
Thru”
feature
on
the
sequencer,
which
when
ON,
wends
from
MIDI
OUT
a
copy
of
every-
thing
received.
Since
this
situation
is
undesirable,
path
@
can
be
disabled.
To
do
this
the
unit
is
set
to
“Local
OFF”.
The
ordinary
condition
—
where
path
(©
remains
operative
—
is
referred
to
as
“Local
ON”.

MIDI

on
separate
chan-
nels
(MIDI

numbered
from
1
through

The
channel
used
by
the

unit
must
be
matched
with
that
used
by
the

Only
then
will

to
play
the
ep-3
and
also
have
another
MIDI-equipped
instrument

play
the

notes,
you
first
should
set
the
channel

for
reception
on
your
external
device
to
the
same
channel
that
you
have
the
ep-3
set
to
use
for

If

another
MIDI
keyboard
as
a
master
instru-
ment,
and
you
wish
to
have

ep-3
played
by
it,
you
would
need
to
set
the
channel
used
for
reception
on
the
ep-3
to
the
same
channel
that
the
master
keyboard
will
be

e
When
wishing
to
have
a

play
the
ep-3,
you
need
to
set
the
channel
used
for

on
the
ep-3
to
the

that
the

is
set

Program
Change
messages
basically
state
something
to
this
effect
“A
change
has
been
made
to
the
number
such-and-such
voice.”
They
do
not
convey
any
further
specifics
about
the
voice,
such
as
"The
voice
to
which
a
change
has
been
made
is
named
Piano.”
An
instrument
sends
out
a
Program
Change
when-
ever
a
change
in
the
voice
being
used
is
made.
The
Program
Change
is
sent
as
a
number
which
has
been
assigned
to
a
certain
voice.
Such
numbers
and
what
they
mean
in
terms
of
specific
voices
can
vary
from
instrument
to
instrument.
When
another
device
receives
a
Program
Change
message,
it
will
respond
based
on
the
number
and
what
it
means
on
that
instrument
—
it
changes
to
the
voice
that
it
uses
for
that
particular
number.
For
this
reason,
it
is
entirely
possible
that
on
the
mas-
ter
keyboard
you
could
change
to
“Piano”
and
yet
another
instrument
would
begin
sounding
using
“Vibraphone.”
Correspondence
charts
can
be
referred
to
before-
hand
to
avoid
such
surprises.
The
setting
shown
here
allows
you
to
turn
off
Pro-
gram
Change
communication.
When
off,
the
ep-3
no
longer
will
transmit
Program
Change
messages
when
its
Voices
are
changed.
Also,
if
the
ep-3
should
receive
Program
Changes
sent
from
another
unit,
no
change
is
made
in
its
voices.
lt
should
be
so
to
“Off”
if,
for
example,
you
want
a
connected
unit
to
always
use
a
particular
voice
while
you
play
using
a
variety
of
voices
on
the
ep-3.
