MIDI Functions

• When using the TO HOST

terminal to connect to a
personal computer using
Windows, a Yamaha MIDI
driver must be installed in
the personal computer.
The Yamaha MIDI driver
can be obtained at
Yamaha’s home page on
the World Wide Web,
<http://www.yamaha.co.jp/
english/xg/>.

• Special MIDI cables (sold

separately) must be used
for connecting to MIDI de-
vices. They can be bought
at music stores, etc.

• Never use MIDI cables

longer than about 15
meters. Cables longer
than this can pick up
noise which can cause
data errors.

MIDI Terminal/TO HOST Terminal

In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must

be connected by a cable.

There are two ways to connect: from the MIDI terminals of the PSR-530 to the

MIDI terminals of an external device using a MIDI cable, or from the TO HOST
port of the PSR-530 to the serial port of a personal computer using a special cable.

If you connect from the PSR-530 TO HOST terminal to a personal computer,

the PSR-530 will be used as a MIDI interface device, meaning that a specialized
MIDI interface device is not necessary.

In the rear panel of the PSR-530, there are two kinds of terminals, the MIDI

terminals and the TO HOST terminal.

• MIDI IN ......... Receives MIDI data from another MIDI device.

• MIDI OUT ..... Transmits the PSR-530’s keyboard information as MIDI data to another

MIDI device.

• TO HOST ...... Transmits and receives MIDI data to and from a personal computer.
