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. HOST SELECT PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac TO HOST Set to the "Mac" position. Apple Macintosh Series Computer 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). In any case the clock speed should be set to 1 MHz. q "Mac" Cable Connections MINI DIN 1 8-PIN 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 • 8-pin system peripheral cable. • Data transfer rate: 31,250 bps. 2 (HSK i) 1 (HSK 0) 5 (RxD-) 4 GND 3 (TxD-) 8 (RxD+) 7 (GP i) 6 (TxD+) MINI DIN 8-PIN NOTE • When using the [TO HOST] terminal of the Clavinova, first turn the power off on both the Clavinova and the computer before connecting the cable.
