ENGLISH
Connecting the Clavinova to a Computer
Connecting the Clavinova to a computer using the MIDI connectors enables you to transfer MIDI
data between the piano and the computer.
An example of connecting the Clavinova to the USB port on a computer
Use an optional USB-MIDI interface (such as a Yamaha UX16) to connect t he Clavinova’s MIDI connectors to the com-
puter’s USB port.
You must install the USB-MIDI driver on the computer correctly so that you can control your MIDI instrument from the
computer. The USB-MIDI driver is a software application that enables MIDI signals to be transmitted between the
sequence software on the computer and the connected MIDI instrument. For more information, refer to the user’s man-
ual that came with the USB interface device.
Connecting the Clavinova to the computer using a UX16
Turn off the power to the Clavinova. Connect the MIDI OUT cable from the USB-MIDI interface to the Clavinova’s
MIDI IN connector, and connect the MIDI IN cable from the USB-MIDI interface to the Clavinova’s MIDI OUT con-
nector.
The connection between the Clavinova and the computer has now been established.
Turn on the power to the Clavinova and try to transfer MIDI data to or from the computer.
For more information on connecting the UX16, refer to the user’s manual that came with the UX16.
When the Clavinova is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the Clavinova will not be played cor-
rectly.
Before you connect the Clavinova to a computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavinova and the computer. After you make the con-
nections, turn on the power to the computer first, then turn on the power to the Clavinova.
