Set the MIDI Channel

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.

The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI

channels, otherwise no sound will be produced.

- In a setup where you wish to play the ep-90/70 and also

have another MIDI-equipped instrument or sound

module play the same notes, you should first set the

channel used for reception on your external device to the

same channel that you have the ep-90/70 set to use for

transmission.

- If using another MIDI keyboard as a master instrument,

and you wish to have the ep-90/70 played by it, you

would need to set the channel used for reception on the

ep-90/70 to the same channel that the master keyboard

will be transmitting on.

- When wishing to have a sequencer play the ep-90/70, you

need to set the channel used or reception on the ep-90/70

to the same channel that the recorded MIDI data is set to

use.

When the ep-90/70 is turned on, Channel “1” is selected.

While holding down the [Piano 1], [Piano 2],

and [Harpsichord] buttons, press the

appropriate key on the keyboard.

The MIDI transmit channel and receive channel will

switch to the number that corresponds to the note you

pressed.

→ For the notes that correspond to each setting, refer to

“Functions Assigned to the Keyboard” (p. 31).
