BENDER/MODULATION lever
When pushed towards the back of the E-80, this lever
will add modulation to the notes of the Keyboard
parts you are playing at that time. Move it to the left
or right to temporarily lower or increase the pitch of
the Keyboard part notes you are playing. For the
HARMONIC BAR sounds and the sounds of the TONE
[ORGAN] family, you can use the Modulation axis to
alternate between the fast and slow Rotary speeds.
l
Floppy disk drive
This is where you can insert 2DD or 2HD floppy disks
for external storage of your Music Styles, Recorder
songs and MIDI Sets. Press the eject button to
remove the disk from the drive.
Note: Do not remove the floppy disk while the E-80 accesses
the disk (to load/save data, etc.). Doing so may damage both
the floppy disk and the drive’s head.
m
PHONES 1 & 2 sockets
This is where you can connect two pairs of optional
headphones (Roland RH-25, RH-50, RH-200 or
RH-300).
n
SPEAKER OFF switch
This switch allows you to switch off the internal
speakers, in which case the indicator lights. That may
prove handy when the E-80 is connected to an exter-
nal sound system and should not use its internal
amplification system.
Note that connecting a pair of headphones has the
same effect as activating [SPEAKER¥OFF].
