Using Your

 

•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 computer via a USB port or a serial port (modem or printer terminal). Using standard MIDI cables, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the external 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 interface.

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 created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. The following description generally 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.

1 Connect the USB storage device to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal with a standard USB cable.

2 After 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.

n

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).

n

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 computer via the instrument.

Formatting USB storage media

CAUTION

The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Proceed with caution.
