How do I connect MIDI devices?

The EP-133 supports MIDI via USB and the 3.5mm TRS jack:

USB MIDI: 1. Connect EP-133 to computer or MIDI host via USB-C 2. The EP-133 appears as a MIDI device 3. Send/receive notes, clock, and control messages

3.5mm MIDI (TRS): 1. Use a 3.5mm TRS to 5-pin DIN MIDI adapter 2. Connect to MIDI out of your controller/keyboard 3. Set EP-133 to receive on correct MIDI channel

MIDI settings: 1. Enter system settings (shift + specific button combo) 2. Navigate to MIDI configuration 3. Set MIDI channel (1-16) for each group 4. Enable/disable MIDI clock sync

What MIDI can do:

Notes in: Play pads from external keyboard
Notes out: Trigger external synths from EP-133 sequences
Clock: Sync tempo with other devices
Transport: Start/stop from external source

MIDI channel assignment:

Each group (A, B, C, D) can have its own MIDI channel
This lets you control different external instruments per group
Set to "off" to disable MIDI for a group

Tip: For syncing to a DAW, set EP-133 to receive MIDI clock. This keeps everything locked to your DAW's tempo.
