Connecting to a Personal Computer Although the Clavinova can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector and HOST SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT personal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need for a separate MIDI interface. "The Clavinova-Computer Connection" is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you can do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer system (the manual is not written for any specific models). The document is available as a PDF file (in English) at the following Internet address: Clavinova Home Page: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/cl/ Yamaha Manual Library (Electronic Musical Instruments) http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/ NOTE • When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn the power to both the Clavinova and the computer OFF before connecting the cable and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After connecting the cable and making the appropriate HOST SELECT switch setting, turn the power to the computer on first, then turn on the Clavinova. • When not using the [TO HOST] terminal of the Clavinova, make sure the cable is disconnected from the [TO HOST] terminal. If the cable is left connected, the Clavinova may not function properly. • " HS(" will appear in the display if the host computer is not turned on, the connecting cable is not properly connected, the HOST SELECT switch is not in the proper position, or the MIDI driver or MIDI application is not active. In this case, turn the power off on both the Clavinova and the computer, and check the cable connection and the position of the HOST SELECT switch. Once the connection and HOST SELECT switch position is verified, turn the power of the computer on first, then the Clavinova, to check if the MIDI driver and MIDI application function properly. • When the HOST SELECT switch is set to "Mac", "PC-1", or "PC-2, no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. To use the MIDI connectors for connection via a standard MIDI interface, set the HOST SELECT switch to "MIDI". Apple Macintosh Series Computer Set to the "Mac" position. TO HOST Mac MIDI PC-1 PC-2 HOST SELECT CLP-930 Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series Computer ...Connect the TO HOST connector of the Clavinova 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 HOST SELECT switch 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).
