Using the TD-07 with a Computer or Smartphone App

Using the TD-07 with Computer Software

If the TD-07 is connected to your computer via a USB cable (commercially available), you can transmit and receive MIDI and 

audio data.

*  A USB cable is not included. Use a USB2.0 Hi-Speed cable.

In order to transmit and receive audio as USB AUDIO, you 

must install the USB driver.
The USB driver is software that transfers data between the 

TD-07 and the software such as DAW on your computer.
