Chapter 6 Connecting MIDI Devices
Cutting the Connection Between
the Sound Generator and the
Pad Controller (Local Control)
This setting is required when you wish to record your pad
performance on an external MIDI sequencer.
The performance data from the pad, rather than being sent
directly to the sound module section (Local Control Off), is
first sent to the external sequencer, and then on to the HPD-
15's sound module.

If you make connections and record as shown, with a setting
of Local On, duplicate notes will be re-transmitted to the
HPD-15 and will not be played correctly. If you turn on Soft
Thru (p. 79) and make connections as shown in the diagram,
MIDI messages will create a loop, and the system will not
play correctly. Be sure to turn off Soft Thru as well.

Saving Data to an External
MIDI Instrument
The data in the HPD-15 can be transmitted either singly or
collectively to a sequencer (or another HPD-15). The
operation of transmitting this data is called a "Bulk Dump";
receiving this data is called a "Bulk Load."
Transmitting (Bulk Dump)
The HPD-15 transmits stored data to a sequencer.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the HPD-15's MIDI OUT
connector to the MIDI IN connector of the external sequencer
or the other HPD-15.
