Connecting To A Personal Computer; Connecting To An Apple Macintosh Series Computer - Yamaha P-80 Owner's Manual

Connecting to a Personal Computer

Although the P-80 can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/
OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector and HOST
SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT per-
sonal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need
for a separate MIDI interface.
Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series
Computer
..........................................................................................................
Connect the TO HOST connector of the P-80 to the modem or
printer port on your Macintosh, depending on which port your
MIDI software is using for MIDI data communication, using a
standard Macintosh 8-pin system peripheral cable. Set the HOST
SELECT switch to the "Mac" position.
You may also have to make other MIDI interface settings on
the computer side, depending on the type of software you use
(refer to your software owner's manual). In any case the clock
speed should be set to 1 MHz.

connecting the cable. After connecting the cable, turn the power of the computer on first, then the P-80.
• When not using the [TO HOST] terminal of the P-80, make sure the cable is disconnected from the [TO HOST]
terminal. If the cable is left connected, the P-80 may not function properly.
• " " will appear in the display if the host computer is not turned on, the connecting cable is not properly con-
HS(
nected, the HOST SELECT switch is not in the proper position, or the MIDI driver or MIDI application is not active. In
this case, turn the power off on both the P-80 and the computer, and check the cable connection and the position of
the HOST SELECT switch. Once the connection and HOST SELECT switch position is verified, turn the power of
the computer on first, then the P-80, to check if the MIDI driver and MIDI application function properly.
• When the HOST SELECT switch is set to "Mac", "PC-1", or "PC-2, no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors.
To use the MIDI connectors for connection via a standard MIDI interface, set the HOST SELECT switch to "MIDI".
