MIDI Send Channel Settings
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. Sim-
ply 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 HP103e/102e receives all channels 1–16.
If you press the [Strings] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI-
related settings” (p. 30), a display like the following will
appear.
Value 1–16
Power-up default setting 1

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.
Local Control OFF: The keyboard and the internal sound
generator are in an unlinked state. No sound will be pro-
duced 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 HP103e/102e → MT
series, Local Off will be set automatically.
If you press the [Variation] button in step 2 of “Making
MIDI-related settings” (p. 30), a display like the following
will appear.
Value On, OFF
Power-up default setting On

Transmitting a Performance You Recorded
If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the
HP103e/102e to an external MIDI device or computer,
turn this setting “On.” If this is “OFF,” the data will not
be transmitted.
If you press the [Play] button in step 2 of “Making MIDI-
related settings” (p. 30), a display like the following will
appear.
Value On, OFF
Power-up default setting OFF
If you wish to save the performance recorded on the
HP103e/102e, use the following procedure. In this situa-

your MIDI sequencer.
