I MIDI send channel settings
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communica-
tion 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 HP107e receives all channels 1–16.
* When using the HP107e in Dual mode (p. 19) or Split mode
(p. 20), the left hand of the performance is transmitted on
Channel 5 in Dual mode and in on Channel 3 in Split mode.
These MIDI Transmit channel settings are fixed and cannot be
changed. When connecting an external MIDI device while
using Dual or Split modes, use channels other than 3 and 5 for
the MIDI device.
If you press the Piano Resonance [String] button in
step 2 of "Making MIDI-related Settings", a display like
the following will appear.

I Switching Local Control on and off
When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to
"OFF."
As illustrated, information describing what has been
played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound
generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a
result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To
prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed,
by setting the unit to what is known as "Local Off."

Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices
* When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not
necessary to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit
Local Off messages when their power is switched on. If you
turn on the power in the order of the HP107e → MT series,
Local Off will be set automatically.
If you press the Piano Resonance [Key Off] button in
step 2 of "Making MIDI-related Settings", a display like
the following will appear.

I Transmitting a performance you recorded
If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the
HP107e to an external MIDI device or computer, turn this
setting "On." If this is "OFF," the data will not be trans-
mitted.
If you press the [Left] button in step 2 of "Making MIDI-
related Settings", a display like the following will appear.

If you wish to save the performance recorded on the
HP107e, use the following procedure. In this situation,
your external sequencer is set its MIDI Thru feature to be
OFF. For details, refer to the owner's manual of your
MIDI sequencer.
Connect a MIDI sequencer such as the MT series (p. 34).
Record the performance on the HP107e (p. 25).
Set this setting to "On."
Start recording with the connected MIDI sequencer.
Start playback of the recorded song on the HP107e.
When playback ends, stop recording with the connected
MIDI sequencer.
Use a connected MIDI sequencer to save the data on a
floppy disk or other media.
