Exchanging MIDI Messages with Your Computer

What is the USB MIDI Driver?
fig.11-12e(MidiDriver)
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which
passes data between the VC-1 and the
application (sequencer software, UniQuest
editor, etc.) that is running on the USB-
connected computer.
The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the
application to the VC-1, and passes data
from the VC-1 to the application.
In order to use the VC-1 as a USB MIDI device from your computer, you must first install the USB MIDI
driver. The USB MIDI driver is on the "V-Synth Driver CD-ROM." (NOT VC-1 CD-ROM!)
In order to use USB in MIDI mode, you must install the driver from the V-Synth Driver CD-ROM into
your computer (included the V-Synth package).
The correct driver and the installation procedure will depend on your system and on the other programs
you are using. Be sure to read the Readme file on the CD-ROM before installation.
