Setting the MIDI Transmit/Recsive
Channels
MIDI provides for the use of 16 channels, 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 MID! Transmit/Receive
Channel.
1. While the VIBRAPHONE button's indicator is dark, the
transmission and reception channels will be set to the
same channel. The Transmit channel alone can be set
while the VIBRAPHONE button's indicator is blinking;
whereas the Receive channel alone can be set while
the VIBRAPHONE button's indicator is lit.

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 channels 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 channels are automatically set to channel 1.

* 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 is 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 i or is dark, it means
that ihe unit is set to Local ON.)

2. 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.)
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-200, 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 Off, 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, it will always be at
“Local ON."
