J Device ID
A device ID is a number used by system exclusive messages
to tell one device from another. When you specify a device ID
for this piano, it recognizes (receives) only system exclusive
messages that include the same device ID number.
You should assign device IDs when you are using an external
synthesizer to control multiple PL-40R units. Doing so makes
it possible to send a system exclusive message to a specific PL-
40R unit.
You can use the digital piano’s USB terminal to connect to a
computer.
Note that you need to purchase a commercially available USB
cable to connect the digital piano to a computer using the USB
port. Once you establish a USB connection between the digital
piano and a computer, you can exchange data between them.
1.
On the computer to which you plan to connect,
install the USB driver that comes on the CD-
ROM that comes bundled with the digital piano.
Š For information about installing the driver,
navigate to one of the language directories
located in the root directory of the bundled “PL-
40R USB Manual and Driver CD-ROM”, and read
the contents of the “readme.txt” file.
2.
Use a commercially available USB cable to
connect the digital piano to the computer.

Your digital piano has two data communication modes: a
USB Mode and a MIDI Mode.
The MIDI Mode is used when sending and receiving data
over the PL-40R’s MIDI terminals.
The USB Mode is used when sending and receiving data over
the PL-40R’s USB port. In the USB Mode, the digital piano’s
MIDI IN/OUT terminals can be used for MIDI transfer of data
from a computer. They cannot be used to send data from the
digital piano.
Š The MIDI (USB) function is disabled during demo tune
play, in the Music Library Mode (while Music Library
Mode lamp is lit), and while the keyboard is lit due to
Demo2 (power on alert) operation.
