Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices

Connecting MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging

performance data, you can control the performances on one

device from the other. For instance, you can output sound

from the other instrument or switch tones on the other

instrument.

■

What’s MIDI?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an

international standard which allows performance

information to be communicated among electronic musical

instruments and computers.

The HP-7/3 provides MIDI connectors, which allow

performance data to be exchanged with external devices.

When these connectors are used to connect the HP-7/3 to

external devices, an even wider range of possibilities

becomes available.

*A separate publication titled “MIDI Implementation” is also available.

It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI has been

implemented on this unit. If you should require this publication (such

as when you intend to carry out byte-level programming), please

contact the nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland

distributor.

Connection examples

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices,

always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices

before making any connections.

* Set Local Off if you have connected the HP-7/3 to a MIDI sequencer.

Refer to “Switching Local Control on and off” (p. 38). Also set your

MIDI sequencer to MIDI Thru mode (so that messages received at

MIDI IN will be re-transmitted without change from MIDI OUT).

For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your MIDI sequencer.
