Basic Operation

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 76)

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.

■

Copying files from a computer hard disk to a USB

storage device

Files contained on the hard disk of a computer can be transferred to the

instrument by first copying them to the storage media, then connecting/inserting

the media to the instrument.

Not only files created on the instrument itself but also Standard MIDI files created

on other devices can be copied to a USB storage device from the hard disk of the

computer. Once you’ve copied the data, connect the device to the USB [TO

DEVICE] terminal of the instrument, and play back the data on the instrument.
