Installing the Korg USB MIDI Driver

Connecting the Pa500 to a personal computer

Installing the Korg USB MIDI Driver
The USB port can be used to transfer MIDI data between the
Pa500 and a personal computer (this is called the MIDI Over
USB function). This is useful when your computer is not fitted
with a MIDI interface.
USB can be used in parallel with the MIDI ports. For example,
you can connect your Pa500 to a sequencer running on your
computer, and at the same time control another MIDI instru-
ment connected to the MIDI ports of the Pa500.
Connecting the Pa500 this ways makes it, at the same time, a
MIDI input device, a controller, and a sound generator.
Connecting the Pa500 to a personal
computer
Please install the KORG USB-MIDI Driver, before connecting
the Pa500 to a personal computer. Be sure your personal com-
puter meets the requirement shown on "KORG USB-MIDI
