Connecting External Devices

Connecting Audio Devices

You can connect audio devices to play the sound of the HPi-5

through the speakers of your audio system, or to record your

performance on a tape recorder or other recording device.

Use phone plug audio cables (sold separately) to make connections.

Example connections

*

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.

Connections with MIDI Devices

By connecting external MIDI devices and exchanging performance

data, a device can control the performance of another device. For

example, you can play sounds from another device, or select sounds

remotely.

What is MIDI?

“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a

universal standard created to allow for the exchange of performance

data among electronic musical instruments and computers.

The HPi-5 provides MIDI connectors, which allow performance data

to be exchanged with an external device. When these connectors are

used to connect the HPi-5 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.

Example connections

*

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.

*

The HPi-5 has one MIDI In connector on the rear panel and

another on the bottom panel. It is not possible to use these two

MIDI In connectors at the same time.

If you are connecting a MIDI sequencer, set “Local Off.” For

details refer to “Local Control setting” (p. 48).
