Connecting External Devices

Local Control setting

If the data that is produced when you play the keyboard is sent to

the sound generation section via both routes (1) and (2) as shown in

the diagram, notes will be doubled or may be interrupted. To

prevent this, use the “Local Off” setting to disconnect route (1).

Set Local Off if you have connected the HPi-5 to a MIDI sequencer.

*

When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not

necessary to make the Local Off setting. The MT transmits a

Local Off message when the power is turned on. If you turn on

the power in the order of the HPi-5

MT series, Local Off will be

set automatically.

Composer Out setting

If you want a performance recorded on the HPi-5 to be transmitted

to an external MIDI device or computer, turn the “Composer Out”

setting “On.”

Program Change setting

Program changes are a type of message that tell a device to “switch

to sound number ‘x’.” A device that receives this message will select

the sound of the corresponding number.

When you use this setting to specify a program change (program

number), that program number will be transmitted to a MIDI device

connected to the HPi-5. A MIDI device that receives the program

number will switch to the sound corresponding to that program

number.

Normally, program changes select from 128 different sounds.

However, some MIDI devices have more than 128 sounds. For such

devices, Bank Select messages are combined with Program Change

messages to select sounds. Bank Select consists of two messages:

MSB (controller number 0; value: 0–127), and LSB (controller number

32; value: 0–127).

*

Some MIDI devices cannot use bank select messages.

Alternatively, some devices may use bank select messages, but

ignore the LSB message.
