Connecting to a Personal Computer
Connect your PSR-550 to a computer and take advantage of the wide range of power-
ful and versatile software for creating and editing music.
The PSR-550 can be con-
nected in two ways:
• Using the MIDI terminals
• Using the TO HOST terminal
●
When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series computer, connect the RS-
422 terminal of the computer (modem or printer terminal) to the MIDI interface,
then connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the MIDI interface to the MIDI IN
terminal of the PSR-550, as shown in the diagram below. Set the HOST SE-
LECT switch on the PSR-550 to “MIDI.”
•
When the HOST SELECT switch is set in the “MIDI” position, input and
output in the TO HOST switch is ignored.
•
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, carefully read the owner’s manual for the software you are
using.
Connect using the PSR-550 MIDI terminals
Using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI
terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-550.
For the connection cable, use a special MIDI cable.
