These connectors enable the piano to 'converse' with other M1DI-eauiDoed units. The two connectors function as follows: .MIDI. * MIDI IN Connector This connector is where messages from other MIDI-equipped units are received, and can be likened to the "ears" which listen to what the other instrument has to convey. * MIDI OUT Connector From this connector, messages are sent out to other MIDi-equipped units. It can be likened to the ■"mouth" in the ongoing dialogue between the units. In order to enable communication between two devices, you need to run a cable, such as shown below, between their respective MIDI connectors. Key Touch Function This instrument allows you to select one of three touch settings. These settings determine how the keyboard will respond to certain playing dynamics- Choose the setting which is most comfortable. Medium This is the standard setting. The response provided by this setting is generally perceived as being the most natural. HEAVY cm Light c With this setting, the keys will seem lighter to the touch, and fortissimo levels can be achieved with much less effort. Heavy With this setting, the keys will seem heavier to the touch, and you will need to apply even more force than normal to obtain fortissimo ieveis. * When powered up, the instrument will be at the default setting (Medium), Connecting a recorder or sequencer such as the PR-1 or MT-200 MSDÎ Sequenser or Recorder Setting the MIDI Transmit/Receive Channels MIDI provides for the use of 16 channeis, numbered 1 — 16. When the channel used by the transmitting unit matches that of a remote receiving unit, you can play sounds contained in the remote unit, or change the sounds it uses. Hold down the FUNCTION button while you press the VIBRAPHONE button to set the MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel. 1, While the VIBRAPHONE button's indicator is dark, the transmission and reception channels will be set to rhe same channel. The Transmit channel alone can be set while the VIBRAPHONE button's indicator is biinking; whereas the Receive channel alone can be set while the VIBRAPHONE button's indicator is lit.

With the FUNCTION button still depressed, press the key which corresponds to the desired MIDI channel. {See illustration below.) * Thereafter, the unit will be placed back into the Omni OFF mode when a specific setting for the Receive channel is made. Local On/Off If you intend to record into a sequencer, set it so its "Soft Thru" function rs ON. At the same time, set the piano's Local setting to OFF: 1. Press FUNCTION {the STRINGS button indicator should be dark). (When this incic^or is dark, it means that the unit is set to Local ON.) 2. rurauirui Ô With the FUNCTION button still depressed, press the STRINGS button, and confirm that its indicator has lit. (When this indicator is lit, the unit is set to Local OFF. Ö While holding 1 1 RJWCTTTON ö While holding Press the key that corresponds to the MIDi channel you want Omni On/Off When set to "Omni ON," the HP-1300e/HP-1600e will produce sound no matter which channel any performance data is received on. This is convenient for hearing the performance data on all channeis at the same time. To set the unit to Omni ON, hold down the FUNCTION button and press the key at the right end of the keyboard (the highest key). At the same time, both the transmission and reception channeis are automatically set to channe! 1. 3 While holding * if the HP-1300e/HP-1600e is set to "Local ON" while connected to a sequencer set with its "Soft Thru" function "ON/' the same notes will be produced twice. This is because the locally produced keyboard notes first sound internally/ and then are sounded a second time when the note messages (after having been sent out the HP-1300e/HP-1600e's MIDI OUT, and been routed through the sequencer) have arrived back again at the HP-1300e/HP-1600e's MIDI IN. The resulting sound might seem quite unnatural. * Some sequencers, such as the MT-2GG, automatically send out a "Local Off" message at power up. There are also sequencers (such as the PR-1) which are ordinarily used while set to Soft Thru Oif, so the instrument being used can be left set at Local On. * This piano will always be set at "Local ON" whenever its power is turned on. * Whenever there are no cables connected to this instrument's MIDI connectors, ft will always be at "Local ON." 11 The Muiti-Timbrai Mode When the Multi-Timbral mode is ON, MID! data arriving on severai channels can be received. This allows you to simultaneously play severai of the piano's internal sounds. • When the Muiti-Timbrai Mode is OFF Data that arrives on the specified Receive channel (see page 11) is received and used to play the currently selected Voice. * When 'he Muiti-Timbrai Mods is ON Of any MIDI data that arrives, that which arrives on channels 1,11,...
