Setting Up The Mu5 In Your Music System; Connecting With A Computer - Yamaha MU5 Owner's Manual

Setting Up the MU5 in Your Music System

Setting Up the MU5 in Your Music System
As you learned in the section The MU5 — What It Is and What It Can Do
on page 11, the MU5 can be integrated into a variety of setups. It would be
impossible to cover all connection possibilities in a short manual as this;
however, the section below will help in quickly setting up the MU5 and using
it in your system.

Connecting With a Computer

The MU5 features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to directly
connect it to your computer — eliminating the need of installing a special
MIDI interface to your computer. The MU5 can be used with the following
computers: Apple Macintosh, IBM PC and the NEC PC-9800 Series.
If your computer has a MIDI interface you may want to connect the MU5 to it,
rather than using the host computer interface on the MU5. (See the section
"Connecting to Other MIDI Devices" on page 20.)
Depending on the computer or interface used, set the HOST SELECT switch
to the appropriate setting: MIDI, PC-1 (NEC computers), 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" on page 22.
