Connection to a Computer

The keyboard’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 keyboard onto a computer equipped with a USB port. After that, you can connect your keyboard to the computer and run commercially available MIDI software on your computer to exchange MIDI data with the keyboard. You can also transfer data you downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE to the keyboard, and even store keyboard data on your computer’s hard disk.

To install the USB MIDI driver

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 keyboard.

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

NOTE

•Before starting actual installation of USB MIDI driver, be sure to read the contents of the “USBreadme.txt” file in the “English” folder on the CD-ROM.

•Use Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader to access the USB MIDI driver user’s guide.*

*You need to have Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader installed on your computer in order to view the contents of the “CASIO USB MIDI Driver User’s Guide” (USBmanual_e.pdf). If your computer does not have either Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader installed, use the procedure below to install it.
