NOTE

You cannot transmit the voice demo songs and the 50 piano preset songs from the N-100 to another MIDI device.

For MIDI connections, use a standard (optional) MIDI cable, available at most musical instrument stores.

Connecting a Personal Computer

By connecting a computer to the MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the N-100 and the

computer via MIDI.

CAUTION

When connecting the N-100 to a computer, first turn off the power to both the N-100 and the computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power of the computer first, then that of the N-100.

Connecting the USB port on the computer to the N-100 via a USB-MIDI interface (such as the UX16, UX96, or UX256)

Use a USB-MIDI interface device to connect the USB port on your computer to the N- 100’s MIDI terminals. You must install the USB-MIDI interface (such as the UX16, UX96, or UX256) driver. For more information, refer to the user’s manual that came with the USB-MIDI interface device.

NOTE

When the N-100 is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the N-100 will not be played correctly.

NOTE

In order to properly transfer MIDI data between the N-100 and a computer, special MIDI driver software must be installed to the computer.
