Using Your Instrument with Other Devices
CVP-409/407 Owner’s Manual 195

The second connection possibility involves a separate,

external MIDI interface connected to the computer via a

USB port or a serial port (modem or printer terminal).

Using standard MIDI cables, connect the MIDI OUT ter-

minal of the external interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal

of the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal

of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the interface.

n
Make sure to use the appropriate MIDI interface for your computer.

Connecting to a USB-type LAN Adaptor

and USB Storage Device

(9 via the [USB TO DEVICE] Terminal)

There are two ways of using the [USB TO DEVICE] ter-
minal.
■By connecting the USB-type LAN adaptor, you can
directly access special Internet websites for down-
loading music data (page 176).
■By connecting the instrument to a USB storage
device with a standard USB cable, you can save data
you’ve created to the connected device, as well as
read data from the connected device.

About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals
There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument:
[USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse
the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors.
Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction.
Explanations on the [USB TO HOST] terminal can be found in the
previous section.

Using USB Storage Devices

This type is used to connect the instrument to a USB
storage device, and allows you to save data you’ve cre-
ated to the connected device, as well as read data from
the connected device. The following description gener-
ally explains about how to connect and use them.
Before using a USB storage device, be sure to read
“Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Mem-
ory/Floppy Disk, etc)” on page 22.
1Connect the USB storage device to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal with a standard USB cable.
2After that, exit once from the selection display
then return to the display (or press the Tab
switch buttons [
√
] and [
®
] simultaneously from
the selection display). The USB tabs (USB 1, USB
2, etc.) are automatically called up, allowing you
to save files and play back music data from the
devices.
n
Checking remaining memory on the USB storage device
You can check this in the display called up by the following oper-
ation:
[FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY → TAB [
√
][
®
] MEDIA
Select the device by using the [A]/[B] buttons in this display and
press [F] (PROPERTY).
n
Even with a computer connected to the [USB TO HOST] terminal
and a USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] ter-
minal, you cannot access the USB storage device from the com-
puter via the instrument.
