NOTICE
• Use an AB type USB cable of less than 3 meters. USB 3.0 cables cannot be used.
• Do not place your computer in an unstable position. Doing so may cause the device to fall and result in damage.

• When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your computer, make the connection directly without passing through a USB hub.
• The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the computer is connected.
• For information on setting up your computer and/or software, refer to the relevant documentation.
• Unexpected sounds may occur if you edit MIDI data related to the Grand Expression Modeling function (page 53) on a computer.

Transmitting/receiving audio data (USB Audio Interface function)

By connecting a computer or a smart device to the [USB TO HOST] terminal via a USB cable, digital audio data can be
transmitted/received. This USB Audio Interface function provides the following advantages:
• Playing back audio data input from the computer with high sound quality on this instrument
This gives you direct, clear sound in which the sound quality has less noise and deterioration than that from the [AUX
IN] jack.
• Recording digital sound played on this instrument as audio data by using recording software or
music production software on the computer
The recorded audio data can be played back on the computer or smart device.
NOTE
• When transmitting or receiving audio signals by using a computer running Windows, the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver should be
installed to the computer. For details, refer to the "Computer-related Operations" on the website (page 11).
• The volume of the audio sound input can be adjusted from a computer or smart device.
