USB Connection

USB connections can be used in the following two ways:

(1) Control the DME64N/24N from DME Designer.

(2) Connect to any individual DME64N/24N and control that DME64N/24N unit by transmitting MIDI com-
mands from a MIDI sequencer or similar software.

Be sure to follow the procedure below when you make a USB connection with a computer. Otherwise, the
computer and/or DME64N/24N may freeze, resulting in damages or loss of data. If the computer or
DME64N/24N freezes, turn the power to the DME64N/24N off and then on, then restart the computer.

• Before you connect the DME64N/24N to the computer via USB, cancel the computer’s energy saving

mode (such as Suspend, Sleep, or Stand-by mode).

• Before turning on the power to the DME64N/24N, first connect its [USB] connector to the computer’s

USB port.

• Before turning the power to the unit on or off, and before connecting or disconnecting the USB

cable, take the following actions:
- Quit all open applications.
- Make sure that the DME64N/24N is NOT transferring any data.

• Be sure to wait six seconds or more between turning the power to the unit on and then off (or off and

then on), or between connecting and disconnecting (or vice versa) the USB cable.
