Connecting to Other Devices
By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging
performance data, you can control one device from the other.
For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument
or switch Tones on the other instrument.
When the HP207 is connected to a MIDI sequencer,
set it to “Local Off.” Refer to “Preventing Doubled
Notes When Connected to a Sequencer (Local
Control)” (p. 82).

What’s MIDI?
MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was
developed as a universal standard for the exchange of
performance data between electronic instruments and
computers.
The HP207 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it
exchange performance data with external devices. These
connectors can be used to connect the HP207 to an
external device for even greater versatility.
