How USB Can Be Used

Compatible OS

What is USB?

USB, short for “Universal Serial Bus,” is a type of

interface for connecting computers with a variety of

peripheral devices. Using USB allows you to connect

different peripherals using a single USB cable, and also

provides rapid data transmission.

What’s more, you can connect and disconnect

peripherals with the power on, and the computer can

automatically recognize when devices are connected

(you may need to make settings when connecting

certain devices).

Realtime audio signals and MIDI messages cannot be

handled via the BR-600’s USB connector.
