■ Selecting the Transmit Channel
(Transmit Channel)
This parameter sets the MIDI channel for transmissions from the HPi-
6S. MIDI uses what are called “MIDI channels,” numbered 1–16.
Connecting to MIDI devices and setting the HPi-6S to the MIDI channel
for each device allows you to output sounds and switch tones. When
the HPi-6S is set to Dual performance (p. 57), data is transmitted only
of the channel set here.
The HPi-6S receives all channels 1–16.
■ Disconnecting the Internal Sound Generator and
Keyboard (Local Control)
When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this parameter to
Local Off. Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be
turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by the
recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the two routes
(1) and (2) shown in the illustration, causing notes to be sounded in
duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To prevent this, the setting called
“Local Off” is used to disconnect the route in (1).
Local On: The keyboard and recorder are connected to the internal
sound generator.
Local Off: The keyboard and recorder are not connected to the
internal sound generator. No sound will be produced by
the keyboard when it is played.
