6Connecting to a Computer (MIDI terminals/TO HOST terminal)
Connect your PSR-2000/1000 to computer and take advantage of the wide range of powerful and versatile software for creating and editing music. The PSR-2000/ 1000 can be connected in three ways.
■Using the TO HOST terminal
■Using the MIDI terminals
■Connecting to a USB terminal by using an optional USB interface (UX series)
•You’ll need an appropriate music/MIDI software program (such as a sequencer), compatible with your computer platform.
•When connecting the PSR-2000/1000 to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the PSR-2000/1000 and the computer before connecting any cables and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After making the proper connections and settings, turn on the power of the computer first, then that of the PSR-2000/1000.
•If you do not use the TO HOST terminal of the PSR-2000/1000, make sure you disconnect the cable from the terminal. If the cable is left connected, the PSR-2000/1000 may not function properly.
•When the HOST SELECT switch is set to “PC-1,” “PC-2,” or
“Mac,” you can use the TO HOST terminal, but the MIDI connec- tors are disabled since no data transfer occurs via the MIDI con- nectors. On the other hand, when the HOST SELECT switch is set to “MIDI,” you can use the MIDI connectors, but not the TO HOST terminal since no data is transferred via the TO HOST ter- minal.
Note for Windows users (regarding MIDI driver)
To transfer data via the computer’s serial port and the PSR-2000/1000’s TO HOST terminal, you need to install a specified MIDI driver (Yamaha CBX driver for Windows). The Floppy Disk that came with your PSR- 2000/1000 contains the compressed driver file “mididrv.zip.” After extracting the file, execute the installation by double-clicking on the “Setup.exe” file in the “MidiDrv” folder and follow the on-screen directions. In addition, you can download this driver from the XG Library on the Yamaha Web site: http://www.yamaha-xg.com
Using the TO HOST terminal
Connect the serial port of the personal computer (RS- 232C terminal or RS-422 terminal) to the TO HOST terminal of the PSR-2000/1000. For the connection cable, use the appropriate cable below (sold separately) that matches the personal computer type.
If your system does not work properly with the connections and settings listed above, your software may require different settings. Check your software operation manual and set the HOST SELECT switch to the proper data transfer rate. (Data transfer rate of “PC-1” is 31,250 bps.)
■IBM-PC/AT (Windows)
Connect the RS-232C terminal on the computer to the TO HOST terminal on the PSR-2000/1000 using a serial cable (D-SUB 9P → MINI DIN 8P cross cable). Set the PSR-2000/1000 HOST SELECT switch to the “PC-2.” (Data transfer rate is 38,400 bps.)

*When using a D-SUB 25P → MINI DIN 8P cross cable, connect using a D- SUB9P plug adaptor on the computer side of the cable.
■Macintosh
Connect RS-422 terminal (modem or printer) on the computer to the TO HOST terminal on the PSR-2000/ 1000 using a serial cable (system peripheral cable, 8 bit). Set the PSR-2000/1000 HOST SELECT switch to the “MAC” (Data transfer rate is 31,250 bps).
Set the MIDI interface clock in the sequencer you are using to 1 MHz. For details, refer to the owner’s manual for the particular software you are using.
