Connecting The Clavinova To A Computer; An Example Of Connecting To The Usb Port - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-220 Owner's Manual

Connecting the Clavinova to a Computer

Connecting the Clavinova to a computer using the MIDI connectors enables you to transfer MIDI
data between the piano and the computer.
When the Clavinova is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the Clavinova will not be played cor-
rectly.
Before you connect the Clavinova to a computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavinova and the computer. After you make the con-
nections, turn on the power to the computer first, then turn on the power to the Clavinova.
An example of connecting the Clavinova to the USB port on a computer
Use an optional USB-MIDI interface (such as a Yamaha UX16) to connect he Clavinova's MIDI connectors to the com-
t
puter's USB port.
You must install the USB-MIDI driver on the computer correctly so that you can control your MIDI instrument from the
computer. The USB-MIDI driver is a software application that enables MIDI signals to be transmitted between the
sequence software on the computer and the connected MIDI instrument. For more information, refer to the user's man-
ual that came with the USB interface device.
