MIDI Functions
• When using the TO HOST
terminal to connect to a
personal computer using
Windows, a Yamaha MIDI
driver must be installed in
the personal computer.
The Yamaha MIDI driver
can be obtained at
Yamaha’s home page on
the World Wide Web,
<http://www.yamaha.co.jp/
english/xg/>.
• Special MIDI cables (sold
separately) must be used
for connecting to MIDI de-
vices. They can be bought
at music stores, etc.
• Never use MIDI cables
longer than about 15
meters. Cables longer
than this can pick up
noise which can cause
data errors.

◆MIDI Terminal/TO HOST Terminal
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must
be connected by a cable.
There are two ways to connect: from the MIDI terminals of the PSR-530 to the
MIDI terminals of an external device using a MIDI cable, or from the TO HOST
port of the PSR-530 to the serial port of a personal computer using a special cable.
If you connect from the PSR-530 TO HOST terminal to a personal computer,
the PSR-530 will be used as a MIDI interface device, meaning that a specialized
MIDI interface device is not necessary.
In the rear panel of the PSR-530, there are two kinds of terminals, the MIDI
terminals and the TO HOST terminal.
• MIDI IN ......... Receives MIDI data from another MIDI device.
• MIDI OUT ..... Transmits the PSR-530’s keyboard information as MIDI data to another
MIDI device.
• TO HOST ...... Transmits and receives MIDI data to and from a personal computer.
