Connecting to Other Devices
 
 
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-6S 
 
 
 MT series, Local Off will be 
set automatically.
 
 
Sending Recorded Performance Data to a 
MIDI Device (Composer Out)
 
When Composer Out is active, you can send performance data 
recorded with the HPi-6S to a connected MIDI device or computer.
When you turn on the power, this is set to “Off” (data is not sent).
If you want a performance recorded on the HPi-6S to be transmitted to 
an external MIDI device or computer, turn the “Composer Out” setting 
“On.” If this is “Off,” performance data will not be transmitted.
 
 
Sending Tone Change Messages (Program 
Change/Bank Select MSB/Bank Select LSB)
 
A Program Change is a message that means “change to the Tone of 
the specified number.” The device that receives this changes to the 
Tone of the corresponding number.
When you choose a Program Change message (Program Number), 
the Program Number will be transmitted to the MIDI device connected 
to the HPi-6S. The MIDI device that receives the Program Number 
changes the tone to the corresponding Program Number.
Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones available. Some 
MIDI devices, however, have more than 128 Tones. With such 
devices, the Tone is selected through a combination of Program 
Change messages and Bank Select messages. There are two parts of 
a Bank Select message: the MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127) 
and the LSB (Controller 32, with a value of 0–127).
Some MIDI devices cannot use bank select messages. 
Alternatively, some devices may use bank select messages, 
but ignore the LSB message.
The following become possible once you connect a USB cable 
(available separately) between the USB (MIDI) connector located to 
the lower left of the HPi-6S and the USB connector of your computer.
• You can use the HPi-6S to play sounds from SMF music files 
played back with MIDI software.
• By exchanging MIDI data with sequencer software, you can save 
songs recorded with the HPi-6S to your computer, and enjoy a 
variety of musical control and editing features.
Connect the HPi-6S to your computer as shown below.
* Refer to the Roland website for system requirements.

If connection to your computer is 
unsuccessful...
 
Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to connect the 
HPi-6S to your computer. However, if some problem occurs, or if the 
performance is poor, using the Roland original driver may solve the 
problem. For details on downloading and installing the Roland 
original driver, refer to the Roland website.
