By using the USB TO HOST terminal or MIDI IN/OUT terminals, you can connect
your Electone to a computer and receive/transmit MIDI data (for more information
about MIDI, see page 213).
Connecting your Electone to a computer opens up a whole new world of musical
possibilities. You can save your original songs to computer and create notation (score
writing application or sequencing software is needed), and even upload your original
Electone song data to your own website, to promote your talents or share songs with
your friends. You can also control the Electone from the computer, for example, by
playing a MIDI file on the computer to play back the sounds of your Electone.

Before you can actually transfer data between the Electone and a computer
via the USB connection, you will need to install an appropriate MIDI driver.
Download the latest MIDI driver software from the Yamaha web site at
“http://music.yamaha.com/download/.”
NOTE
When you are using the
M.D.R., MIDI data cannot be
transferred to/from the
computer.
Precautions when using the USB TO HOST terminals
When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal, make sure to observe the
following points. Failing to do so may result in freezing of the computer, corrupting data,
and even losing data.
If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the instrument off or restart the
computer.
• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal, exit from any
power-saving mode (such as suspended, sleep, standby) of the computer.
• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB
TO HOST terminal.
• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or
plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB TO HOST terminal.
• Quit any open applications.
• Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is
transmitted only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back a Song.)
• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six
seconds or more between these operations: When turning the power of the
instrument off then on again, or when alternately connecting/disconnecting the
