MIDI Functions

24

You can enjoy using personal computer music software when you connect your DD-55’s MIDI ter-

minals to a personal computer. Make sure to use only special MIDI cables.

● Connect the MIDI terminals of the DD-55 to the MIDI terminals of the MIDI inter-

face installed to your computer.

● When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series computer, connect the RS-422

terminal of the computer (modem or printer terminal) to the MIDI interface, as shown

in the diagram below.

● When connecting to a computer with a USB interface, use the Yamaha UX256 USB/

MIDI Interface. Connect the UX256 and the computer with a standard USB cable,

then make the proper MIDI connections between the DD-55 and the UX256.
