1. Overview
This instrument has a USB port, which can be linked by USB cable to a computer running
Windows
®
for exchange of MIDI data. To be able to use the USB function, you need to
install the USB MIDI driver on your computer. This User’s Guide provides information
about using the USB MIDI driver.

2. What is the USB MIDI driver?
The USB MIDI driver is software that makes it possible for the instrument to exchange
MIDI application software* with a computer. Your computer must have the USB
MIDI driver installed in order to exchange data with the instrument over a USB
connection. MIDI application software is sent from the computer to the USB MIDI
driver, which then sends data to the instrument. When sending data from the
instrument to your computer, these steps are reversed.
* MIDI sequencer software, MIDI data management software, etc.

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.
