Setting Up Your MU10

Connections

In this section you'll learn how to set up your MU10 with a computer or with
another MIDI device. You'll also learn how to connect the MU10 with audio
equipment.
CAUTION
Turn off all devices before making connections.
You can connect the MU10 with your computer in one of two ways: 1) direct
(computer port — TO HOST terminal), or 2) via MIDI interface.

Direct Connection

Whatever computer you use, the connections are basically the same. How-
ever, the cable you use and the HOST SELECT switch setting differ accord-
ing to the computer type. Other settings on the connected computer may be
required as well. (Refer to the owner's manuals of your particular computer
and music software for more information.)
