PIANO] button.
The button’s indicator will return to the previous 
state. 
MIDI Send Channel Settings
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. 
Simply connecting a cable is not enough for 
communication to take place. The connected devices must 
be set to use the same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound 
will be produced, and no sounds can be selected.
If you press the [STRINGS] button in step 2 of 
“Making MIDI-related Settings” (p. 31), a display like 
the following will appear. 
Value
: 1–16
Power-up default setting
: 1
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.”
Local Control ON: The keyboard and the internal sound 
generator are in a linked state.
Local Control OFF: The keyboard and the internal sound 
generator are in an unlinked state. No sound will be 
produced by the keyboard when it is played.
Value
: On, OFF
Power-up default setting
: On
The ep 880 receives all channels 1–16.
If you are using Dual play (p. 17
) or Split play (p. 18) on 
the ep 880, only the channel you specify here will be trans-
mitted.

NOTE
When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is 
not necessary 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 880 
 
MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.
