MIDI Terminal/TO HOST Terminal
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must
be connected by a cable.
There are two ways to connect: from the MIDI terminals of the PSR-730/630
to the MIDI terminals of an external device using a MIDI cable, or from the TO
HOST port of the PSR-730/630 to the serial port of a personal computer using
a special cable.
If you connect from the PSR-730/630 TO HOST terminal to a personal
computer, the PSR-730/630 will be used as a MIDI interface device, meaning
that a specialized MIDI interface device is not necessary.
In the rear panel of the PSR-730/630, there are two kinds of terminals, the
MIDI terminals and the TO HOST terminal.
• MIDI IN
.........
Receives MIDI data from another MIDI device.
• MIDI OUT
.....
Transmits the PSR-730/630’s keyboard information as MIDI data to
another MIDI device.
• TO HOST
......
Transmits and receives MIDI data to and from a personal computer.

MIDI Functions
When using the TO HOST
terminal to connect to a
personal computer using
Windows, a Yamaha MIDI
driver must be installed in
the personal computer.
The Yamaha MIDI driver
can be obtained at
Yamaha’s home page on
the World Wide Web,
english/xg/>.
Special MIDI cables (sold
separately) must be used
for connecting to MIDI de-
vices. They can be bought
at music stores, etc.
Never use MIDI cables
longer than about 15
meters. Cables longer
than this can pick up
noise which can cause
data errors.
