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 HP103 receives all channels 1–16.

If you press the [Strings] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI- related settings” (p. 40), 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 HP103 → MT series,

Local Off will be set automatically.

If you press the [Variation] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI-related settings” (p. 40), a display like the following will appear.
