Connecting External Devices
The following become possible once you connect a USB cable
(available separately) between the USB (MIDI) connector on
the RG-1’s jack panel and the USB connector of your
computer.
• You can use the RG-1 to play sounds from SMF music
files played back with MIDI software.
• By exchanging MIDI data with sequencer software, you
can save songs recorded with the RG-1 to your
computer, and enjoy a variety of musical control and
editing features.
Connect the RG-1 to your computer as shown below.
* Refer to the Roland website for system requirements.

If connection to your computer is
unsuccessful...
Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to
connect the RG-1 to your computer. However, if some
problem occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the
Roland original driver may solve the problem.
For details on downloading and installing the Roland
original driver, refer to the Roland website.
