• You can use the HP207 to play sounds from SMF music

files played back with MIDI software.

• By exchanging MIDI data with sequencer software, you

can save songs recorded with the HP207 to your

the HP207 to your computer. However, if some problem

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

original driver may solve the problem.

driver, refer to the Roland website.
