Connecting to MIDI Devices
Turning Transmission and
Reception of Control
Changes On/Off
Messages known as “Control Changes” are used to convey to
another device information about the instances where you
have pressed a pedal, or have turned On/Off the Chorus or
Reverb effects.
Each time the power is turned on, the instrument will always
be set to “On” (it will transmit/receive all Control Change
messages).
If you set it to “Off” the ep-90/70 will no longer send or
receive any Control Change messages.
While holding down the [Piano 1] button,
[Piano 2] button, and [Harpsichord] button,
press the “A5” note to turn the setting On,
or the “B5” note to turn the setting Off.
For the notes that correspond to each setting, refer to
“Functions Assigned to the Keyboard” (p. 31).
