Ibm Pc And Clones - Yamaha CS1X Owner's Manual

Connecting The CS1x To A
MIDI Data Storage Device
You can also connect the CS1x with a MIDI data storage device, such as
the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer in order to "bulk dump", or save a
User Performance ("1 Perf" setting) or all the User Performances and Utility
parameters ("All" setting) to floppy disks.
This lets you build up complete libraries of Performance and other data,
which you can easily load back into the CS1x. (The MDF2 also lets you
play compatible song data on the CS1x directly from the MDF2 itself,
without the need for a sequencer.)
For information about how to perform Bulk Dump operations with the
CS1x, see page 42. Refer to the owner's manual of the MIDI data storage
device for operating instructions about sending and receiving data.

The CS1x In A Desktop Music
System
With its built-in host computer interface the CS1x is designed for direct
connection to an Apple Macintosh, IBM PC/AT or NEC PC-9800 Series
computer—without the need for a special MIDI interface between the
computer and the CS1x.
Using the CS1x in a computer music system lets you receive the full
benefits of the instrument's true capabilities, as well as take advantage of
the ever-expanding world of available music sequencer and other software
products which provide you with unlimited potential to achieve your
personal music goals.
If your computer already has a MIDI interface installed, you may want to
use it rather than using the host computer interface on the CS1x. Otherwise,
depending on the computer or interface used, set the HOST SELECT
switch to the appropriate setting: MIDI, PC-1 (NEC PC-9800 Series), PC-
2 (IBM and clones), or Mac (Macintosh). For information on the types of
cables that can be used for connection, see the section MIDI/Computer
Connecting Cables , at right.
