USB MIDI INFORMATION
If the instrument’s MIDI IN/OUT jacks and USB MIDI port are both connected simultaneously, the USB MIDI port will be given priority.
Ensure that the instrument is turned off before attempting to connect the USB MIDI cable.
When connecting the instrument to a computer using the USB MIDI port, there may be a short delay before communications begin.
If the instrument is connected to a computer via a USB hub and USB MIDI communication becomes unreliable/ unstable, please connect the USB MIDI cable directly to the one of the computer’s USB ports.
Disconnecting the USB MIDI cable suddenly, or turning the instrument on/off while using USB MIDI may cause computer instability in the following situations:
-while installing the USB MIDI driver
-while starting up the computer
-while MIDI applications are performing tasks
-while the computer is in energy saver mode
If there are any further problems experienced with USB MIDI communication while the instrument is connected, please
