Preventing Doubled Notes When Connected to a Sequencer

this, you can enable the “Local Off” setting so that the keyboard and

internal sound generator will be disconnected.

select sounds on those devices.
The HPi-50e will receive all sixteen channels (1–16).

USB Driver

Changing the USB Driver Settings
