Connecting External Devices
Local Control setting
If the data that is produced when you play the keyboard is sent to
the sound generation section via both routes (1) and (2) as shown in
the diagram, notes will be doubled or may be interrupted. To
prevent this, use the "Local Off" setting to disconnect route (1).
Set Local Off if you have connected the HPi-5 to a MIDI sequencer.

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-5 → MT series, Local Off will be
set automatically.

Program Change setting
Program changes are a type of message that tell a device to "switch
to sound number 'x'." A device that receives this message will select
the sound of the corresponding number.
When you use this setting to specify a program change (program
number), that program number will be transmitted to a MIDI device
connected to the HPi-5. A MIDI device that receives the program
number will switch to the sound corresponding to that program
number.
Normally, program changes select from 128 different sounds.
However, some MIDI devices have more than 128 sounds. For such
devices, Bank Select messages are combined with Program Change
messages to select sounds. Bank Select consists of two messages:
MSB (controller number 0; value: 0–127), and LSB (controller number
32; value: 0–127).
*
Some MIDI devices cannot use bank select messages.
Alternatively, some devices may use bank select messages, but
ignore the LSB message.
