Connecting a Personal Computer

By connecting a computer to the MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the N-100 and the
computer via MIDI.
CAUTION
When connecting the N-100 to a computer, first turn off the power to both the N-100 and the
computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power of the com-
puter first, then that of the N-100.
Connecting the USB port on the computer to the
N-100 via a USB-MIDI interface (such as the UX16,
UX96, or UX256)
Use a USB-MIDI interface device to connect the USB port on your computer to the N-
100's MIDI terminals. You must install the USB-MIDI interface (such as the UX16,
UX96, or UX256) driver. For more information, refer to the user's manual that came
with the USB-MIDI interface device.
