Roland ep-9 - MIDI Program Change Control; MIDI Control Change Control; MIDI Playback Data Transmission

4. Turning Transmisson and Recep-
tion of Program Changes On/Off
Messages known as “Program Changes” are used to relay
to another device the fact that you have changed the
Voice being used.
The Program Change message itself consists of simply the
number of the Voice you have changed to. When the
other device receives this message, it will switch to
whichever of its sounds corresponds to the number
contained in the message.
Each time the power is turned on, the instrument will
always be set to “On” (it will transmit/receive Program
Change messages).
If you set it to “Off,” the ep-9 will no longer send out
Program Change messages when you change the Voice
being used. Also, the ep-9 will then ignore any Program
Change messages that are sent to it by an external unit,
and will not change the Voice it is playing.
To turn this setting ON/OFF, hold down the 3 Voice
buttons shown at below-left while you then press the
relevant key at position “4” in the illustration.
