Connecting to a Personal Computer

Connecting the 9000Pro to a computer (via the TO HOST terminal or the MIDI termi- nals) lets you take advantage of the enormous processing power and editing ﬂexibility of computer-generated music.

Connection can be done in one of two ways:

•Using the 9000Pro MIDI terminals

•Using the TO HOST terminal

■Using the 9000Pro MIDI terminals

Using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the 9000Pro.

For the connection cable, use a special MIDI cable.

●When the computer has a MIDI interface installed, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the per- sonal computer to the MIDI IN terminal of the 9000Pro.

Set the HOST SELECT switch to “MIDI.”

•In the explanation examples here, the MIDI A terminals are used.

•When using the 9000Pro as a 16-channel multi-timbral sound source, make sure to connect the other MIDI device to the MIDI A IN terminal (not MIDI B).

•You can connect a MIDI device to the MIDI B IN terminal; how- ever, in this case, the 9000Pro cannot be used as a multi-tim- bral sound source, since the MIDI Receive Mode for the MIDI B port (page 176) cannot be set to “XG/GM.”

●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, then connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the MIDI interface to the MIDI IN terminal of the 9000Pro, as shown in the diagram below. Set the HOST SELECT switch on the 9000Pro to “MIDI.”

•When the HOST SELECT switch is set in the “MIDI” position, input and output to the TO HOST terminal is ignored.

•When using a Macintosh series computer, set the MIDI interface clock setting in the application software to match the setting of the MIDI interface you are using. For details, carefully read the owner’s manual for the software you are using.

●When the computer has a USB interface, use the Yamaha UX256.
