003

• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts

within it (except when this manual provides

specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer

all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland

Service Center, or an authorized Roland

distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

..........................................................................................................

004

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct

sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating

duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or

are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors);

or are

• Humid; or are

• Exposed to rain; or are

• Dusty; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration.

..........................................................................................................

007

•Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is

level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on

stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

..........................................................................................................

008c

• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with

the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the

installation matches the input voltage specified on

the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may

use a different polarity, or be designed for a

different voltage, so their use could result in

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

..........................................................................................................

008e

• Use only the attached power-supply cord.

..........................................................................................................

009

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord,

nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can

damage the cord, producing severed elements and

short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock

hazards!

..........................................................................................................

010

• This unit, either alone or in combination with an

amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be

capable of producing sound levels that could

cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for

a long period of time at a high volume level, or at

a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience

any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should

immediately stop using the unit, and consult an

audiologist.

..........................................................................................................

011

(Do not drop it!)

..........................................................................................................

015

•Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share

an outlet with an unreasonable number of other

devices. Be especially careful when using

extension cords—the total power used by all

devices you have connected to the extension

cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating

(watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive

loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat

up and eventually melt through.

..........................................................................................................

016

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult

with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service

Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as

listed on the “Information” page.

adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe

all dust and other accumulations away from its

prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the

power outlet whenever the unit is to remain

unused for an extended period of time. Any

accumulation of dust between the power plug and

the power outlet can result in poor insulation and

lead to fire.

..........................................................................................................

104

• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming

entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be

placed so they are out of the reach of children.

..........................................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 and 3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any

device that will generate line noise (such as an electric

motor or variable lighting system).

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a

cause for concern.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions

and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment

containing large power transformers) may induce hum.

To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this

unit; or move it farther away from the source of inter-

ference.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications

devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of

this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-

ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience

such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices

so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch

them off.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed

vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.

Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the

temperature and/or humidity is very different, water

droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage

or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in

this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must

allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation

has completely evaporated.

358

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard.

This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing

to produce sound.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth

or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To

remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a

mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe

the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or

deformation.

Additional Precautions

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks

and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you

will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s

internal elements.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s

volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use

headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about

those around you (especially when it is late at night).

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box

(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,

you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

560

• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in

use.

562

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using

some other make of connection cable, please note the

following precautions.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use

cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this

unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level

to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-

mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-

turer of the cable.

Main Features of the ep-90/70

Authentic piano performances

High-quality concert grand piano sounds, and a keyboard that’s a true pleasure to play

assure an even more realistic piano-playing experience.

•

Captures the brilliant resonance

The sound of a grand piano has a more brilliant timbre than that of an upright piano.

This is because the sound of a grand piano contains a greater amount of high-frequency

components. The piano sounds of the ep-90/70 reproduce this characteristic of the grand

piano.

•

Reproduces the extended high-frequency response

One of the features of the acoustic piano is that for the approximately one and a half

octaves at the top of the range, there is no damper to restrict the vibration of the strings.

This allows the vibration of the string to continue whether or not the damper pedal is

pressed. Since this also allows these strings to vibrate sympathetically with other strings,

they can sometimes be heard sounding independently from the low and middle-register

strings.

The ep-90/70 faithfully simulates these characteristics of the acoustic piano.

Eight Tones for use in a wide variety of musical genres

The ep-90/70 features not only piano tones, but eight different internal tones that you

can use in a variety of musical genres.

Three Metronome sounds

The ep-90/70 provides a metronome that lets you use three different sounds. You can

easily adjust the tempo and time.

Record your own performances

The ep-90/70 makes it easy to record your own performances.

3. Connecting the Pedal

Connect the supplied pedal to one of the

pedal jacks.

fig.3-03

If the pedal is connected to the Damper

pedal jack, it can be used as a damper

pedal.

If the pedal is connected to the Soft pedal

jack, it can be used as a soft pedal.

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal when you want the sound to linger on.

the keyboard continues to linger for an extended period,

even when you remove your fingers from the keys.

This is the same function as the right-most pedal on an

acoustic piano.

Soft Pedal

This pedal softens the sound.

Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound

that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the

equivalent strength.

This is the same function as the left-most pedal on an

acoustic piano.

About MIDI

MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was

developed as a standard for the exchange of performance

data between electronic instruments and computers.

The ep-90/70 is equipped with MIDI connectors to allow

such exchange of performance data with external equipment

and devices. Connecting the keyboard to other devices with

these jacks provides you with an even greater variety of

ways to use your keyboard.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

About the MIDI Connectors

fig.9-01

MIDI In Connector

Connecting to MIDI Devices

Cautions when Connecting

an External MIDI Device

Here we will explain the “Local On/Off” and “Omni On/

Off” settings that you need to be aware of when connecting

the ep-90/70 to an external MIDI device.

■Disconnecting the ep-90/70’s

keyboard and internal sound

generator—Local On/Off

When the ep-90/70 is connected to a MIDI sequencer or the

like, set it to Local Off.

As shown in the diagram, the data that is produced when

you play the keyboard will reach the sound generator by two

routes, (1) and (2), causing each note to be played in

duplicate. To prevent this, select the Local Off setting to cut

route (1).

fig.9-04.e

This sets it to Local On:

fig.9-05.e

This sets it to Local Off:

fig.9-06.e

NOTE

Be aware that if you set your instrument to Local Off when no

external MIDI device is connected, there will be no sound.

■Switching Local On/Off

Local On is set when the power is switched on.

While holding down the [Piano 1] button,

[Piano 2] button, and [Harpsichord] button,

the “B4” note to turn the setting On, or

press the “C5” note to turn the setting Off.

→For the notes that correspond to each setting, refer to

“Functions Assigned to the Keyboard” (p. 31).

fig.9-07.e (While holding down three buttons)

MEMO

If the ep-90/70 is connected to a Roland MT series (except

MT-80s), it is not necessary to make the Local Off setting.

When the power is turned on, the MT series will transmit a

Local Off message. If you turn the power on in the order of

first the ep-90/70 and then the MT series, the ep-90/70 will

automatically be set to Local Off.

■Receiving on all MIDI channels—Omni

On/Off

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.

The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI

channels, otherwise no sound will be produced.

When set to Omni On, the ep-90/70 plays regardless of the

MIDI channel on which the MIDI messages are received.

It is useful to turn Omni On when, for example, the MIDI In

connector of the ep-90/70 is receiving music data in which

the right-hand and left-hand parts are recorded on different

MIDI channels.

fig.9-08.e

Set the MIDI Channel

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.

The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI

channels, otherwise no sound will be produced.

- In a setup where you wish to play the ep-90/70 and also

have another MIDI-equipped instrument or sound

module play the same notes, you should first set the

channel used for reception on your external device to the

same channel that you have the ep-90/70 set to use for

transmission.

- If using another MIDI keyboard as a master instrument,

and you wish to have the ep-90/70 played by it, you

would need to set the channel used for reception on the

ep-90/70 to the same channel that the master keyboard

will be transmitting on.

-When wishing to have a sequencer play the ep-90/70, you

need to set the channel used or reception on the ep-90/70

to the same channel that the recorded MIDI data is set to

use.

When the ep-90/70 is turned on, Channel “1” is selected.

While holding down the [Piano 1], [Piano 2],

Connecting to MIDI Devices

Transmitting/Receiving

Sound Selection Data—

Program Change

Program Changes are messages that tell an instrument to

“switch to sound number x.”

When the other device receives this message, it will switch to

whichever of its sounds corresponds to the number

contained in the message.

When you press the ep-90/70’s Tone button to change tones,

a Program Change message with the corresponding Program

Number is sent via the MIDI Out connector. Furthermore, a

Program Change message received via the MIDI In connector

changes the tone to the one with the corresponding Program

Number.

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-90/70 will no longer send out

Program Change message when you change the tone being

used. Also, the ep-90/70 will then ignore any Program

Change messages when that are sent to it by an external unit,

and will not change the tone it is playing.

While holding down the [Piano 1] button,

[Piano 2] button, and [Harpsichord] button,

press the “E5” note to turn the setting On,

or the “F5” note to turn the setting Off.

→For the notes that correspond to each setting, refer to

“Functions Assigned to the Keyboard” (p. 31).

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).

MEMO

If you want to know more about Control Change Number,

please refer to “MIDI Implementation Chart” (p. 32).

Transmitting Performance

Data from MIDI Out

If this setting is left “On,” performance data recorded on the

ep-90/70 can be transmitted from the MIDI Out connector.

2] button, and the [Harpsichord] button,

and press the “D6” note to turn the setting

On, or the “E6” note to turn the setting Off.

→For the notes that correspond to each setting, refer to

“Functions Assigned to the Keyboard” (p. 31).

series (p. 25).

2. Record the performance on the ep-90/70.

3. Set this setting to “On.”

4. Start recording with the connected MIDI

device.

5. Start playback of the recorded song on the

Troubleshooting

If you are encountering problems with the unit, please read

the section below before assuming that there is a

malfunction.

The piano cannot be switched on

❍Is the power cord properly connected? (p. 8)

No sound is produced

❍Is the [Volume] knob set to the minimum position?

(p. 10)

❍Are headphones connected? (p. 10)

❍Is Local On/Off set to “Off”? (p. 26)

Demo songs do not play

❍Is Panel Lock on? (p. 22)

Metronome does not sound

❍Is Panel Lock on? (p. 22)

Buttons do not function

❍Is Panel Lock on? (p. 22)

Keyboard sound does not change

❍Is Panel Lock on? (p. 22)

Two sounds are produced when the keyboard

is played

❍Is the keyboard in Dual Play mode? (p. 14)

The pitch of the keyboard sounds incorrect

❍Is the Master Tuning setting correct? (p. 23)

❍Is the Transpose setting correct? (p. 22)

The pedals are not functioning, or function

intermittently

❍Are the pedals connected properly? (p. 9)

Can’t Record

❍Is Panel Lock on? (p. 22)

❍Is the [Demo] button’s indicator lit?

Press the [Demo] button; the button’s indicator goes out

(p. 11).

❍The metronome sound or count sound is not recorded.

The recorded performance has been deleted

❍The performance data that you recorded will disappear

when the power of the ep-90/70 is turned off (p. 19).

❍If you record again after recording, the first-recorded

performance will be erased (p. 19).

Bass notes sound wrong/buzzing or vibration

occurs

❍If you can’t hear the problem in the headphones:

When playing at high volumes, resonance may occur in

the piano itself or in objects near the piano. At times,

other objects in the room, such as fluorescent lights or

glass doors, could start vibrating. Such phenomenon

becomes more prevalent when sounding the lower

frequencies at high volume. To minimize such unwanted

resonance, please observe the following:

- Locate the instrument so it is 10–15 cm away from

walls.

- Reduce the volume.

- Increase the distance from the object that is

resonating.

❍If you can hear the problem in the headphones:

The problem may be for a different reason. Please

contact your dealer.

In the upper range, the sound changes

abruptly beyond a certain key

❍On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one and a half

octaves of the keyboard continue to sound until they

decay naturally, regardless of the damper pedal. There is

a difference in the timbre as well. Roland pianos

faithfully simulate such characteristics of the acoustic

piano. On the ep-70/90, the range that is unaffected by

the damper pedal will change depending on the Key

Transpose setting.

<When the ep-90/70 is connected to

an external device>

No sound is produced

❍Is the power to all equipment turned on?

❍Are the connections between ep-90/70 and the MIDI

sequencer or the other external devices correct?

(p. 24, p. 25)

❍Is the MIDI channel setting correct? (p. 27)

❍Is the Omni On/Off setting correct? (p. 27)

Strange sounds (or two sounds) are produced

when the ep-90/70 is played

❍With the sequencer’s “Thru” function on, the same notes

may be sounded twice. Set the ep-90/70 to Local off

(p. 26).

The volume level of the instrument connected

to Input jacks is too low

❍ Could you be using a connection cable that contains a

resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
