Roland EP-760 Switching Local Control on and off, Transmitting a performance you recorded

Connecting external devices

Switching Local Control on and off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to “Off”.

As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as “Local Off.”

NOTE

When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not nec- essary to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit Local Off messages when their power is switched on. If you turn on the power in the order of the ep-760 → MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.

If you press the [Variation] button in step B of “Making MIDI-related settings”, p. 28, a display like the follow- ing will appear.

Transmitting a performance you recorded

If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the ep-760 to an external MIDI device or computer, turn this setting 0n. If this is 0ff, the data will not be transmitted. If you press the [®(Play)] button in step B of “Making MIDI-related settings”, a display like the following will appear.

To save the performance, use the following procedure. In this situation, your external sequencer is set its MIDI Thru feature to be OFF. For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your MIDI sequencer.

AConnect a MIDI sequencer such as the MT series (p. 28).

BRecord the performance on the ep-760 (p. 20).

CSet this setting to “On.”

DStart recording with the connected MIDI device.

EStart playback of the recorded song on the ep-760. When playback ends, stop recording on the connected MIDI device.

Use a connected MIDI sequencer to save the data on a floppy disk or other media.
