• While starting or shutting down the operating system.

• While computer operation is suspended (with power management controls such as

sleep or hibernation).

• While a MIDI application is starting.

The computer may also hang up and/or the TYROS’ functions may stop if you do the following:

• Turn the power on/off, or connect/disconnect the cable too often.

• Enter the sleep mode while trasmitting the MIDI data, and resume operation.

• Disconnect/connect the cable while the TYROS is on.

• Turn the TYROS on/off, start the computer, or install driver software while a huge

amount of data is being transferred.
