Exchanging MIDI Messages with
Your Computer (MIDI function)
What is the USB MIDI Driver?
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which passes data between
the V-Synth XT and the application (sequencer software, etc.)
that is running on the USB-connected computer.
The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the application to the V-
Synth XT, and passes data from the V-Synth XT to the
application.
