Selecting the Transmit Channel
(Transmit Channel)
This parameter sets the MIDI channel for transmissions from the
HPi-6. MIDI uses what are called “MIDI channels,” numbered 1–16.
Connecting to MIDI devices and setting the HPi-6 to the MIDI
channel for each device allows you to output sounds and switch
tones. When the HPi-6 is set to Dual performance (p. 51), data is
transmitted only of the channel set here.
The HPi-6 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. Most conventional sequencers have the Thru function set
to On, so as seen in the figure, when information describing what
has been played on the keyboard (1) arrives at the sound generator
via two separate routes (2), notes could be sounded twice or
sometimes get cut off. To prevent this, the setting called “Local Off”
is used to disconnect the route in (1).
Local On:
The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in a
linked state.
Local Off:
The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in an
unlinked state. No sound will be produced by the
keyboard when it is played.
