PSR-3000/1500 Owner’s Manual 195

• Connection by [MIDI] terminals

There are two ways to connect the instrument via

MIDI to a computer. If you have a MIDI interface built

into your computer, connect the MIDI OUT terminal

of the computer interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of

the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal

of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the inter-

face.

The second connection possibility involves a sepa-

rate, external MIDI interface connected to the com-

puter via a USB port or a serial port (modem or

printer terminal). Using standard MIDI cables, con-

nect the MIDI OUT terminal of the external interface

to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the instrument, and con-

nect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of the instrument to the

MIDI IN terminal of the interface.

Make sure to use the appropriate MIDI interface for your com-

puter.

8Connecting to a USB-type LAN Adap-

tor and USB Storage Device

(via the [USB TO DEVICE] Terminal)

There are two ways of using the [USB TO DEVICE] ter-

minal on the bottom panel of the instrument. (The PSR-

3000/1500 has two terminals.)

■By connecting the USB-type LAN adaptor, you can

directly access special Internet websites for down-

loading music data (page 165).

■By connecting the instrument to a USB storage

device with a standard USB cable, you can save data

you’ve created to the connected device, as well as

read data from the connected device.

About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals

There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument:

[USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse

the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors.

Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction.

Explanations on the [USB TO HOST] terminal can be found in the

previous section.

Using USB Storage Devices

This type is used to connect the instrument to a USB

storage device, and allows you to save data you’ve cre-

ated to the connected device, as well as read data from

the connected device. The following description gener-

ally explains about how to connect and use them.

• Compatible USB storage devices

Up to two USB storage devices, such as a ﬂoppy disk

drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, ﬂash memory

reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.)

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or

mouse cannot be used. The instrument does not nec-

essarily support all commercially available USB stor-

age devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of

USB storage devices that you purchase. Before pur-

chasing USB storage devices, please consult your

Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor

(see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or

see the following web page:

CD-ROM drive

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instru-

ment, they cannot be used for saving data.

1Connect the USB storage device to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal with a standard USB cable.

2After that, exit once from the selection display

then return to the display (or press the Tab

switch buttons [

√

] and [

] simultaneously from

the selection display). The USB tabs (USB 1, USB

2, etc.) are automatically called up, allowing you

to save ﬁles and play back music data from the

devices.

USB hub

If you are connecting two or three devices at the same time (such

as two USB storage devices and a LAN adaptor), use a USB hub

device. The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power

source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub can be

used. If an error message appears while using the USB hub, dis-

connect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the power of

the instrument and re-connect the USB hub.

About the USB Tabs

The tabs indicating the connected USB devices (USB 1, USB 2,

etc.) may be displayed up to USB 20 for each device or partition.

The numbers are not ﬁxed and may change according to the order

in which the devices are connected and disconnected.
