CONNECT THE rp-x TO A PC
The Rp-x expander can be connected to a PC in two different way: using the MIDI or the USB (Universal Serial
Bus) interface. Using the MIDI the PC has to be equipped with a proper MIDI interface (see the note below), in
case of USB it's possibile to use directly the PC USB built-in connection. In both case, MIDI or USB, the tranfer
rate and the features of the protocol are complying the standard MIDI specifi cations, the only difference consist
of the connections type.
NOTE: Normally the desktop PC offers the MIDI connection from the installed audio card. The type of the connection
it depend from the model of the audio card. About this purpose, please refer to the owner manual of your PC.

You can use the rp-x connected to a PC or to play its sound via MIDI from a software sequencer or to create or edit
the internal performances (see the next chapter), using the PC editor included in the instrument package.
We will assume that a MIDI interface along with software to play MIDI fi les is correctly installed in your PC. Please refer
to the operating instructions of these devices to properly confi gure the PC to transmit standard MIDI fi les via the MIDI
OUT socket.
REMEMBER! The MIDI interface does not transmit AUDIO signals, just control
data only. You must always connect the audio output of the MIDI instrument
(such as the rp-x) you are controlling, to an external speaker system
For instruction on this feature, please refer to the CD ROM included with the expander.
As previously noted, the only difference in MIDI or USB is only the type of connections, the data transfer rate and the
features are the same in both cases.
