Preventing Doubled Notes from the Sound 

Generator when a Sequencer is Connected

If you connect a MIDI sequencer to the HPi-7F, set the Local Control 

setting to “Local Off.”
A MIDI sequencer will typically have its “Thru” function turned on, 

meaning that the notes from the keyboard will reach the sound 

generating section by two routes: internally within the HPi-7F itself, 

and also via the MIDI sequencer. This will cause notes to be sounded in 

duplicate, or to be cut off inappropriately. To prevent this, you should 

disconnect the internal route by choosing the “Local Off” setting.

Changing the MIDI Transmit Channel

Here’s how to set the MIDI channel that the HPi-7F will use for 

transmission.
MIDI uses sixteen “MIDI channels” (1–16). When MIDI devices are 

connected, and the MIDI channels of the devices are set to match, a 

device can play notes or select tones on the other device.

1.  Press the [Function] button ➝ [MIDI] ➝ [O] button ➝ 

[Tx Channel] (p . 24) .

•  If you turn this “Off,” the HPi-7F will not transmit MIDI data.
•  The HPi-7F can receive all channels 1–16.

Transmitting Recorded Performance Data to 

a MIDI Device

If the “Composer MIDI Out” setting is “On,” the recorded performance 

data can be transmitted to a MIDI device or computer that’s connected 

to the HPi-7F.
