Installing the Korg USB Midi Driver

Installing the Korg USB MIDI Driver > Connecting the C-720 to a personal computer

The USB port can be used to transfer MIDI data between the C-720 and a personal computer (this is called the MIDI Over USB function). This is useful when your computer is not fitted with a MIDI interface.

USB can be used in parallel with the MIDI ports. For example, you can connect your C-720 to a sequencer running on your

computer, and at the same time control another MIDI instru- ment connected to the MIDI ports of the piano.

Connecting the C-720 this ways makes it, at the same time, a MIDI input device, a controller, and a sound generator.
