Follow these instructions if you have an IBM PC/AT or compat-
ible computer that is not equipped with an external MIDI inter-
face. Connect the TO HOST terminal on the MU5 to one of the
computer’s serial ports, COM 1 or COM 2.
NOTE ■ Your music software must be able to recognize
the TO HOST connection. Consult your Yamaha
dealer for more details. If your software is not
compatible, you can still use the MU5 by installing a
MIDI interface (internal card or external) to the
computer.
