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.”

Local Control ON

The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in a linked
state.

fig.localon.e

Local Control OFF

The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in an
unlinked state. No sound will be produced by the keyboard
when it is played.

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 HP201

→

MT
series, Local Off will be set automatically.

Local On is set when the power is switched on.

1.

While holding down the [METRONOME] and

[REVERB/KEY TOUCH] buttons, the “C8” note to turn

the setting On, or press the “B7” note to turn the

setting Off.

Sending Recorded Performance Data to a MIDI Device (Composer Out)

When Composer Out is active, you can send performance
data recorded with the HP201 to a connected MIDI device or
computer.

When you turn on the power, this is set to “Off.”

1.

While holding down the [METRONOME] button and

[REVERB/KEY TOUCH] button, press the F7 or F 7

key to switch Composer Out on/off.

If Composer Out is turned on, the song data will be sent
to a connected MIDI device or computer when you play
back a recorded song.
