Basic Operation Connections Connecting a personal computer By connecting a computer to the USB [TO HOST] or MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the instrument and the computer via MIDI, and take advantage of sophisticated computer music software. Keep in mind that you also need to install an appropriate USB MIDI driver. There are the two methods by which to connect the Clavinova to a personal computer: 1. Connecting the USB port on the computer to the Clavinova's USB [TO HOST] terminal (see below) 2. Using a MIDI interface and the Clavinova's MIDI terminals (page 64) If you are using a computer that has a USB interface, we recommend that you connect the computer and the instrument by USB, rather than by MIDI. For more information, refer to the following pages. CAUTION When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn off the power of the Clavinova and quit any application software that is open on the computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the Clavinova. CAUTION If you are not using the connection between the Clavinova and your computer, you must disconnect the cable from the USB [TO HOST] terminal. The Clavinova may not operate correctly if a cable is left connected. TERMINOLOGY Driver: A driver is software that provides a data-transfer interface between the computer's operating system and a connected hardware device. You need to install a USB MIDI driver to connect the computer and the instrument. Connecting the USB port on the computer to the Clavinova's USB [TO HOST] terminal Use a USB cable to connect the USB port on your computer to the USB [TO HOST] terminal on the Clavinova.
