Roland HP 2700 - Local ON;OFF Control; Omni On;Off Control

Local ON/OFF
The information below will be helpful when
wishing to use the instrument in combination
with a sequencer. (When one cable should run
between the MID! OUT on this instrument and
the MIDI IN on the sequencer, and another
should run between the sequencer’s MIDI OUT
and this unit’s MIDI IN.)
When connections are made as illustrated below, the
music you play can be recorded into a sequencer. Then,
you can hear a reproduction of it when the sequencer is
played back.

lf “Soft Thru” on the sequencer is on at this time, the
same notes will be produced twice. As a result, the sound
may seem unnatural, and the maximum number of voices
that can be produced simultaneously may be reduced.

Soft Thru On
This is because the performance data generated by play-
ing the keyboard reaches the internal sound source
through two different routes, which are:
@ The circuit connections within the HP-3700/2700.
@) Soft Thru on the sequencer. (State whereby a copy of
the performance data received at MIDI IN is sent out
from MIDI OUT.)
In order to alleviate problems, the first route @ can be
switched out of use. Doing this is referred to as setting
the instrument to “Local Off.” Conversely, the ordinary
state, where the route in (@ is left active, is known as
“Local On.”
Local Off
In this mode, the key-
board will not be con-
nected to its built-in
sound source, and play-
ing the keyboard will
not produce sound.
Local On
This is the normal mode,
in which the keyboard
connected to its bult-in
sound source.
No sound produced

3. Using MIDI
Omni On/Off
When set to “Omni On,” the HP-3700/2700 will
produce sound regardless of the channel that
any performance data is received on. This is
convenient for times such as when checking
arrangements that require hearing the perfor-
mance data on all channels at the same time.
