What’s MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
an international standard which allows performance

musical instruments and computers.
The ep 880 provides MIDI connectors, which allow
performance data to be exchanged with external
devices. When these connectors are used to connect
the ep 880 to external devices, an even wider range of
possibilities becomes available.

Set Local Off if you have connected the ep 880 to a
MIDI sequencer. Refer to “Switching Local Control

OUT). For details, refer to the owner’s manual of
your MIDI sequencer.
