Connection with Computer

By using the [USB TO HOST] terminal or MIDI terminals, you can connect the
Electone and computer enabling the MIDI communication between both. Install the
USB-MIDI driver to your computer, then make the MIDI connection between the
Electone and computer. Regarding the USB-MIDI driver, you can download the
latest version from the Yamaha website:

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.
