5. Precautions
● When installing the USB MIDI driver under Windows XP, wait until the message
“Your new hardware is installed and ready to use.” appears in the area next to the
tasktray after you click Finish. Do not perform any other operation on your computer
until then.
● Do not connect the USB cable to the instrument and your computer until you are
ready to start driver installation. Doing so causes the Windows plug and play feature
to start installation automatically. Should you inadvertently connect and start the
installation procedure, never cancel it part way through. Follow the instructions that
appear on your computer screen all the way to the end.
● Operation of the USB MIDI driver is not supported under Windows 95 and
Windows NT.
● Check to make sure that the USB port on your computer is enabled.
• Proper USB port operation may not be possible with certain older model
motherboards.
• Proper USB port operation may not be possible with certain chip sets.
• In some cases, proper operation can be enabled by taking steps as instructed by the
chip set manufacturer.
• A BIOS setting can be configured to enable or disable USB operation. Try changing
the BIOS configuration to enable operation.
● After starting up MIDI application software, you will not be able to operate the
instrument from the MIDI application if you connect to a computer via a USB cable
and then turn on the instrument. Be sure to turn on the instrument and connect to a
computer via a USB cable before starting up the MIDI application software.
● Operation cannot be guaranteed if you turn off the instrument or disconnect the USB
cable while controlling the instrument from a MIDI application over a USB connection.
Be sure you exit the MIDI application before turning off the instrument or disconnecting
the USB cable. If you have a USB connection between the instrument and your
computer, and the computer goes into the power saving “Standby” state or “Hibernate”
state, the USB MIDI driver may not operate properly after full power is restored. If
this happens, quit the MIDI application you are using, turn the instrument off and
then back on again, and then restart the MIDI application.
