following things.
• Use the HP201 to play SMF music files played back by
MIDI-compatible software.
• By transferring MIDI data between the HP201 and your
sequencer software, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range
of possibilities for music production and editing.

occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the Roland
original driver may solve the problem.

driver, refer to the Roland website.
