Years ago I heard two different interpretations of the HP abbreviation: half pedal and high performance. I don't know if either is correct.

Regardless, the functional meaning is that the instrument will play the note and on/off pedal data that is received on MIDI channel 1 from an external source and will play the incremental pedal data that is received on channel 3.

Historical note: HP mode for MIDI input has been available on all Disklaviers from the Mark II up through the Mark IV. The E3 and DKC-850 do not have this mode, probably because it has no use on modern instruments.
