Roland HP-2 owner manual Midi Send Channel Settings, Switching Local Control on Off

Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices

■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.

*The HP-2 receives all channels 1–16.

*If you are using Dual play (p. 12) or Split play (p. 13) on the HP-2, only the channel you specify here will be transmitted.

If you press the [Strings] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI- related settings,” a display like the following will appear.

■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.”

*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 HP-2 → MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.

If you press the [Variation] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI-related settings,” a display like the following will appear.

■Transmitting a Performance

You Recorded

If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the HP-2 to an external MIDI device or computer, turn this setting “On.” If this is “Off,” the data will not be transmitted.

If you press the [Play] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI- related settings,” a display like the following will appear.

If you wish to save the performance, use the following procedure. In this situation, your external sequencer is set its MIDI Thru feature to be OFF. For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your MIDI sequencer.

1Connect a MIDI sequencer such as the MT series (p. 30).

2Record the performance on the HP-2 (p. 21).

3Set this setting to “On.”

4Start recording with the connected MIDI device.
