Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices

■

MIDI send channel settings

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.

Simply 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 HP-7/3 receives all channels 1–16.

* If you are using Dual performance (p. 16) or Split performance (p. 17)

on the HP-7/3, only the channel you specify here will be transmitted.

If you press

the [Strings] button

in step 2 of “Making MIDI-

related settings,” a display like the following will appear.

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.

fig.localon.e

Local Control OFF: The keyboard and the internal sound

generator are in an unlinked state. No sound will be

produced 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 HP-7/3

→

MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.

If you press

the [Variation] button

in step 2 of “Making

MIDI-related settings,” a display like the following will

appear.

Transmitting a performance

you recorded

If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the HP-7/

3 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,” a display like the following will

appear.

OFF

If you wish to save the performance, use the following

procedure. In this situation, your external sequencer is set its

MIDI Thru feature to be OFF. For details, refer to the owner’s

manual of your MIDI sequencer.

Connect a MIDI sequencer such as the MT series (p. 37).

Record the performance on the HP-7/3 (p. 27).

Set this setting to “On.”

Start recording with the connected MIDI device.

Start playback of the recorded song on the HP-7/3.

When playback ends, stop recording with the connected

MIDI device.

Use a connected MIDI sequencer to save the data on a

floppy disk or other media.
