Connecting to a Computer

USB (MIDI) connector located on the HP201’s bottom panel to

the USB connector of your computer, you’ll be able to do the

following things.

• Use the HP201 to play SMF music files played back by

MIDI-compatible software.

• By transferring MIDI data between the HP201 and your

sequencer software, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range

of possibilities for music production and editing.

If connection to your computer is

Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to connect

the HP201 to your computer. However, if some problem

occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the Roland

original driver may solve the problem.

For details on downloading and installing the Roland original

driver, refer to the Roland website.

Specify the USB driver you want to use, and then install the

driver. For details, refer to “Changing the USB Driver Settings”

Caution

• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or speaker damage,

always make sure to turn the volume all the way down

and turn off the power on all equipment before you make

any connections.

• Only MIDI data can be transmitted and received via USB.

• A USB cable is not included. If you need to obtain one,

ask the dealer where you purchased the HP201.
