Introduction

Connecting the Xboard to your Computer

USB Connection

USB provides a two-way data link between the Xboard and your computer and also supplies power to the Xboard. Always connect to the USB port on the computer itself—the USB port on your computer keyboard will not supply sufficient power.

MIDI Connection

The Xboard sends MIDI perfor- mance data to another MIDI device, such as a MIDI sound module. The Xboard always transmits MIDI data except when “Thru” mode is enabled. (See page 39.)
