Connecting To Midi Devices - Roland HP 737 Owner's Manual

Connecting to MIDI devices
Read this chapter if you wish to connect the HP Piano to an
external MIDI device.
If the HP Piano is connected to a MT series MIDI sequencer,
etc., a performance recorded on the HP Piano can be trans-
mitted to the MIDI sequencer. It is also possible to record the
performance directly on the MIDI sequencer. The recorded
performance can be saved on the MIDI sequencer.
When the HP Piano is connected to an MT series sequencer,
the rich variety of sounds built into the MT series sequencer
can be played from the HP Piano's keyboard.
| About MIDI
| MIDI, short for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface,"
| was developed as a standard for the exchange of perfor-
| mance data between electronic instruments and comput-
ers.
The HP Piano is equipped with MIDI connectors to
| allow such exchange of performance data with external
| equipment and devices. Connecting the keyboard to
| other devices via these jacks provides you with an even
| greater variety of ways to use your HP Piano.

MIDI connectors
MIDI Out connector
Use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to connect from here to
the MIDI In connector on the external MIDI device.
Performance data detailing what has been played on the key-
board, and other data, such as that generated when a pedal is
pressed, is sent out from here to external MIDI devices.
MIDI In connector
Use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to connect from here to
the MIDI Out connector on the external MIDI device.
MIDI messages sent from connected external equipment will
be received here. Аз a result, the HP Piano will produce
sound, change tones, or perform other operations.
Making the connections
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices,
always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices
before making any connections.
1. Turn the volume down completely on all
equipment.
2. Turn off the HP Piano and any other device to
be connected.
3. Use an optional MIDI cable to connect the MIDI
socket on the external MIDI device to the MIDI
connector on the HP Piano.
Take a look at the connection examples for determining
whether to use the HP Piano's "In" or "Out" connector.
4. Turn on the power to all equipment.
5. Adjust the volume.
6. You should also make the following settings as
needed. |
For details on making MIDI-related settings for the
