Connecting MIDI Devices
By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging

What’s MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an
international standard which allows performance information
to be communicated among electronic musical instruments and
computers.
The HP201 provides MIDI connectors, which allow
performance data to be exchanged with external devices.
When these connectors are used to connect the HP201 to
external devices, an even wider range of possibilities becomes
available.

Set Local Off if you have connected the HP201 to a MIDI
sequencer. Refer to “Switching Local Control On and Off”
(p. 39). Also set your MIDI sequencer to MIDI Thru mode
(so that messages received at MIDI IN will be re-
transmitted without change from MIDI OUT). For details,
refer to the owner’s manual of your MIDI sequencer.

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 HP201 receives all channels 1–16.
When you’re using Dual Play (p. 17) on the HP201, the
notes for “Tone 2” are transmitted on channel 5. This MIDI
transmit channel setting is fixed. If you’re using Dual Play
with an external MIDI device connected, set your device
to a channel other than channel 5.
