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-6 
 
 
 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-6 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-6 to be transmitted 
to an external MIDI device or computer, turn the “Composer Out” 
setting “On.”
 
 
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-6. 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).
NOTE
 
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 on the HPi-
6’s rear panel and the USB connector of your computer.
• You can use the HPi-6 to play sounds from SMF data played 
back with MIDI software.
• By exchanging MIDI data with sequencer software, you can 
save songs recorded with the HPi-6 to your computer, and 
enjoy a variety of musical control and editing features.
When using USB to connect a computer to the HPi-6, be sure to read 
the USB Installation guide.
This will describe the conditions that need to be met in order to use 
USB and the procedures for installing the necessary drivers when 
first connecting the devices.
 
*
However, note that the HPi-6 is not compatible with Mac OS 9.
