Connecting to a Personal Computer

Although the VL70-m can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector

and selector switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh, IBM PC/AT, or NEC PC-9801/9821 series personal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need for a separate MIDI interface.

■IMPORTANT!

•If the VL70-m is to be connected to a computer via the TO HOST connector and a MIDI controller via the MIDI IN connector, the “echo back” function of the music software or sequencer you are using must be turned “on” so that the MIDI note data from the controller is returned to the VL70-m and any subsequent devices connected to the VL70- m MIDI OUT connector.

VL70-m

Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series Computer

Connect the TO HOST connector of the VL70-m to the modem or printer port on your Macintosh, depending on which port your MIDI software is using for MIDI data communication, using a standard Macintosh 8-pin system peripheral cable. Set the TO HOST selector to the “Mac” position.

You may also have to make other MIDI interface settings on the computer side, depending on the type of software you use (refer to your software owner’s manual). In any case the clock speed should be set to 1 MHz.
