Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!) If you need to move the instrument, take note of the precautions listed below. At least two persons are required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

• 1Disconnect the adapter cord.
• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.
• Remove the music stand. ENGLISH In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

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.

Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet (p. 10).

Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, pull the plug on the adapter cord out of the outlet.

ENGLISH Do not force the unit’s adapter 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. 118c

Keep any wing nut you may remove and the included screws of stand in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

ENGLISH Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth. 101a

The unit should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

Always grasp only the plug on the adapter cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit. ENGLISH

At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug 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.

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. ENGLISH

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

Never handle the adapter cord or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

ep880.book Page 6 Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:30 PM Important notes In addition to the items listed under “Important safety instructions” (p. 2) and “Using the unit safely” (p. 4), please read and observe the following:

Power Supply Maintenance

Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

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.

Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible. To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the finish.

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation. Additional Precautions

Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish. 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.

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.

A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation. 558a Placement

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 interference.

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 initiating 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. 354b

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. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. 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.

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

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. 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). When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shockabsorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.

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

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 information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable. ep880.book Page 7 Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:30 PM ENGLISH Contents Panel Descriptions .......................................... 8

ep880.book Page 16 Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:30 PM Transposing the Keyboard (Transpose) By using the “Transpose” function, you can transpose your performance without changing the notes you play. For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you to play. When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering positions). This can be set in a range of –6~0~5 (semitone steps). For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when you play the C key, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the E key. Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the black keys, to reach E, thus “4” appears in the display. If you play C E G

3. Playing Along with the Internal Songs

Here’s how you can play along with the internal songs. You can slow down the playback tempo of the song, or play back each hand separately. Before you try playing the song, listen to it several times to get a general feel for the song. For details on operation, refer to “Selecting a Song and Playing It” on page 12. Indication of the tempo during song playback Changing the Tempo Adding a Count-in to Match the Timing (Count-In) If the song has a rapid tempo, you can slow down the tempo so that you can practice it more easily. It is effective to gradually raise the tempo as you practice. NOTE Some of the internal songs have tempos that change during the song. If you turn on the metronome while the song plays back, the metronome will sound at the beat and tempo of the song.

1. Select the song that you want to play back (p. 12).

2. Press the [SONG/TEMPO] button, getting its

indicator to light in green. The tempo appears in the display. Correspondence between beat and tempo display Beat Tempo value 2/2 =10–125 x/4 =20–250 x /8 =40–500 Each time you press the [SONG/TEMPO] button, the tempo and the currently selected song number (prefixed by “S.”) will be displayed alternately. While the tempo is displayed, the [SONG/TEMPO] button indicator will light in green. While the song number is displayed, it will light in red.

3. Press the [-] or [+] button to adjust the tempo.

The tempo can be adjusted in a range of q = 20~250. You can also change the tempo during playback. Pressing the [+] button once increases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the button increases the tempo continuously. Pressing the [-] button once decreases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the button makes the tempo change (slow down) continuously. If you press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, you will return to the basic tempo of the song (the tempo before you modified it).

While the song is playing, the initial tempo of the song will continue to be displayed, regardless of tempo changes during the song. For more about the display for the internal songs, refer to p. 12. When you’re playing along with a song, you can make sure that your playing is in time with the song by sounding a count before the song starts playing. Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a song is called “Count-In.” On the ep 880, if you playback a song while the metronome is sounding, two measures of lead-in count will be heard at the beginning of the song. See also “Sounding the Metronome” (p. 19). NOTE During the count-in, the count measure is indicated in the display as “–2” then “–1.” ep880.book Page 21 Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:30 PM ENGLISH Playing Each Hand Separately The internal songs have different parts recorded to the lefthand and right-hand performances.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the middle A key. This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

Just Major This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.

Just Minor The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale.

Mean Tone This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

Werckmeister This temperament combines the Mean Tone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III).

Kirnberger This is an improvement of the Mean Tone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III).

The following appears in the display.

If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a tonic note. NOTE If you record with a temperament other than equal temperament selected, and then want to play back that performance, use this setting to select the same temperament for playback as the temperament you used when recording. When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be aware that depending on the key, there may be some shifting of the pitch. Tune the ep 880 to the fundamental pitch of the other instruments. ENGLISH Temperament Display ENGLISH You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods). Today, compositions are generally created with equal temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended. ENGLISH The last three digits are indicated in the display. “440.0 Hz” is indicated in the figure above. Value: 415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz Power-up default setting: 440.0 Hz This setting remains in effect until you turn off the power.

6. Connecting External Devices

Connecting to Audio Equipment You can connect audio devices to play the sound of the ep 880 through the speakers of your audio system, or to record your performance on a tape recorder or other recording device. When connecting, please use an audio cable with a standard phone plug (sold separately). NOTE To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. Playing the sound of the ep 880 through the speakers of an audio system/Recording the performance of the ep 880 on a recording device Input R/L (Line In, Aux In) ep 880 Connecting MIDI Devices By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control the performances on one device from the other. For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch tones on the other instrument. What’s MIDI? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard which allows performance information to be communicated among electronic 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. NOTE A separate publication titled “MIDI Implementation” is also available. It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland distributor. Connection Examples Use the following procedure when turning on the power.

1. Turn on the power of the ep 880.

2. Turn on the power of the connected device.

3. Adjust the volume of each device.

Set Local Off if you have connected the ep 880 to a MIDI sequencer. Refer to “Switching Local Control on and Off” (p. 31). Also set your MIDI sequencer to MIDI Thru mode (so that messages received at MIDI IN will be re-transmitted without change from MIDI OUT). For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your MIDI sequencer. ep880.book Page 31 Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:30 PM Sound module 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.” ENGLISH Perform on the ep 880 to play a MIDI sound generator (1) Local On Sequencer MIDI

If you press the [VARIATION] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI-related Settings” (p. 31), a display like the following will appear. ENGLISH 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. NOTE 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 transmitted.

(p. 17) The tone has changed in the Split or Dual play If you use Dual play or Split play with a TONE SELECT button for which tone number 3 is selected, tone number 1 will be selected for that TONE SELECT button (p. 14). Are the MIDI cables connected correctly? Does the MIDI channel match the connected instrument? (p. 31) When the ep 880 is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 31). Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its MIDI Thru feature is OFF. Tone doesn’t change Is the panel locked? (p. 28) Is the Tone locked? (p. 28) Turn the power off, then back on. Are the indicators for the [SPLIT] and [TWIN PIANO] buttons flashing? Setting of functions is in progress. Press the [SPLIT] or [TWIN PIANO] button to exit function mode (p. 26). Not all played notes are sounded Any performance that has been recorded is deleted when the power to the ep 880 is turned off. A performance cannot be restored once it’s been deleted. If you do not want a performance to be deleted, use Song Backup (p. 25). Depressing a footswitch has no effect, or the effect doesn’t stop Is the footswitch connected correctly? Make sure it is securely connected to the jack on the rear of the unit. Reverberation still audible even with Reverb turned off Since the ep 880’s piano sounds faithfully reproduce the sense of spaciousness and reverberation of an actual acoustic piano’s sound, a certain amount of reverberation is still perceptible, even with the reverb effect deactivated. 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 880, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change depending on the Key Transpose setting. ENGLISH The maximum number of notes that the ep 880 can play simultaneously is 64. Frequent use of the damper pedal when playing along with a song may result in performance data with too many notes, causing some notes to drop out. ENGLISH Some tones assign the tone that had been selected before you pressed the [SPLIT] button to the left hand area of the keyboard. Please refer to “Tone List” (p. 207). The recorded performance has disappeared ENGLISH No sound is heard (when a MIDI instrument is connected) If you record additional material without erasing the previously recorded song, the song will be recorded at the first-recorded tempo. Please erase the previously recorded song before you re-record (p. 24). ENGLISH Is Local Off selected? When Local Control is set to OFF, no sound is produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local Control to “ON” (p. 31). Is the setting for the “Master Tuning” correct? (p. 27) ENGLISH Are headphones plugged in and headphones indicator lights up? (p. 10) Has a plug remained connected to the Phones jack? When headphones are connected, the keyboard’s speaker stops playing. Are the settings for the “Temperament” and “Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 27)

ep880.book Page 34 Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:30 PM Case Cause/Remedy A High-pitched whine is produced When listening through headphones: Some of the more flamboyant and effervescent piano tones feature an ample high-end component, which may make the sound appear to have metallic reverberation added. Since this reverberation becomes particularly audible when supplemented by heavy reverb, you may be able to diminish the problem by reducing the amount of reverb applied to the sound. When listening through speakers: Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the ep 880) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center. The bass range sounds odd, or there is a vibrating resonance When listening through speakers: Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the ep 880 to resonate. Resonation can also occur with fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and other objects. In particular, this problem occurs more easily when the bass component is increased, and when the sound is played at higher volumes. Use the following measures to suppress such resonance.

• Place the instrument so it is 10–15 cm from walls and other surfaces.
• Move the speakers away from any resonating objects. When listening through headphones: Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the ep 880) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center. Error Messages/Other Messages
