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).
