MIDI 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 Connectars.
In order to share performance information with other units, cables need to be connected using
these connectors.
The ep-7 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:
* The notes you play on the ep-7 can be relayed and sounded simultaneously on other IVIIDI-
equipped instruments or sound module (*1).
* The ep-7 can be sounded under the control of another MliDi-equipped keyboard, or a
sequencer (*2).
* Everything you play on the ep-7 can be recorded into a sequencer (*2).
1*1) A sound module is a device which generates sound as a result of whatever information it receives at its MIDI IN
connector.
İn
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-7 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 MID! messages are trans-
mitted. If you wish to use the ep-7 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. (MSC-15/25/50, sold sepa-
rately.)

Channel
MID! communication takes place on separate chan-
neis (MIDI Channeis), numbered from 1 through 16.
The channel used by the transmitting unit must be
matched with that used by the receiving unit. Only
then will sound be produced as expected.
* in a setup where you wish to play the ep-7 and
also have another MiDi-equipped instrument or
sound module play the same notes, you first
should set the channel used for reception on your
external device to the same channel that you
have the ep-7 set to use for transmission.
* if using another MIDI keyboard as a master instru-
ment, and you wish to have the ep-7 played by it,
you would need to set the channel used for
reception on the ep-7 to tne same channel that
the master keyboard will be transmitting on.
e When wishing to have a sequencer play the ep-7,
you need to set the channel used for reception on
the ep-7 to the same channel that the recorded
MIDI data is set to use.

urning Transmission
Reception of Program
Changes On and Off
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-7 no
longer will transmit Program Change messages when
its Voices are changed. Also, if the ep-7 should
receive Program Changes sent from another unit, no
change is made in its voices.
It 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-7.

ble combination of a Voice plus Chorus, Reverb or both. (Please
