Connecting A Personal Computer - Yamaha P-140 Owner's Manual

Connecting a Personal Computer

By connecting a computer to the USB [TO HOST] or MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between
the instrument and the computer via MIDI. To do this, install the USB MIDI interface (such as the
UX16, UX96, or UX256) driver and Musicsoft Downloader software.
There are two ways you can connect the P-140 to a computer:
1. Connecting the USB port on the computer to the P-140 via a USB MIDI inter-
face.
2. Using a MIDI interface and the P-140's MIDI terminals.
For more information, see below.
CAUTION
When connecting the P-140 to a computer, first turn off the power to both the P-140 and the
computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the
computer first, then to the P-140.
