Connecting to a computer and USB device

• 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.

Connecting to a USB Storage Device

(6 via the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal)

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.

Before using a USB storage device, be sure to read

“Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Mem-

ory/Floppy Disk, etc)” on page 23.

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.

Checking remaining memory on the USB storage device

You can check this in the display called up by the following oper-

ation:

[FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY → TAB [

√

][

] MEDIA

Select the device by using the [A]/[B] buttons in this display and

press [F] (PROPERTY).

Even with a computer connected to the [USB TO HOST] terminal

and a USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] ter-

minal, you cannot access the USB storage device from the com-

puter via the instrument.
