Using Your PSR-2000/1000 with Other Devices Using the MIDI terminals When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-2000/1000 with standard MIDI cables. • When the computer has a MIDI interface installed, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the personal computer to the MIDI IN terminal. Set the HOST SELECT switch to "MIDI." Using the USB terminal on your computer with a USB/MIDI interface (UX256/UX96, etc.) Connect the UX256/UX96 and the computer with a USB cable. Install the included UX256/UX96 driver to the computer, and connect the UX256/UX96 to the PSR2000/1000 with a MIDI cable. Set the HOST SELECT switch on the PSR-2000/1000 to "MIDI." For details, refer to the owner's manual of the UX256/UX96.

What's MIDI? Let's consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note? • When the HOST SELECT switch is set to "MIDI," the TO HOST terminal is disabled. • When using a Macintosh series computer, set the MIDI interface clock setting in the application software to match the setting of the MIDI interface you are using. For details, refer to the owner's manual for the particular software you are using. Acoustic guitar note production Digital instrument note production Internal amp Internal amp L Tone generator (Electric circuit) R Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound. Playing the keyboard Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampled note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers. As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument, the sampled note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard, and output through the speakers.
