E. Using The Concert Performer with a Computer
Your personal computer can be used as a MIDI device as well. In order to connect your computer to the CP you will
need a MIDI interface. Check with your local music store or computer dealer for more information about particular
models of these interface devices.
Once you have your computer connected to your Concert Performer, you can think of it as a powerful extension of
the CP's own music processing abilities. There are hundreds of software programs available that you can use to
do everything from learn the basics of piano playing, to creating film scores for your home movies, to composing
the next great digital symphony.
If you don't wish to purchase a MIDI interface device for your computer, the Concert Performer can also be
connected directly to the back of your computer via a USB cable. In order for the CP and your computer to properly
communicate over this USB cable, your computer must have a USB driver installed. Please read the instruction in
the following section for more details about USB and the USB driver software.
