Connection to a Computer

The digital piano’s USB port makes it quick and simple to connect to a computer. You can install a USB MIDI driver from the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the digital piano onto a computer equipped with a USB port. After that, you can connect your digital piano to the computer and run commercially available MIDI software on your computer to exchange MIDI data with the digital piano. You can also transfer data you downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE to the digital piano, and even store digital piano data on your computer’s hard disk.

1On the computer to which you plan to connect, install the USB MIDI driver that comes on the CD- ROM that comes bundled with the digital piano.

•For information about installing the USB MIDI driver, see the “CASIO USB MIDI Driver User ’s Guide” (USBmanual_e.pdf) on the CD-ROM.
