Connecting a Computer
 
 
Connect to the MIDI Connectors
 
You can use a USB MIDI interface cable (sold separately) to 
connect the KR to your computer.
If the KR is connected to a computer in which sequencer 
software such as Roland’s “Visual MT” is installed, a song 
you’ve recorded on the KR can be saved on your computer.
 
Connection examples
 
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other 
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power 
on all devices before making any connections.
* In order to make connections to your computer, you must 
install “MIDI driver” software on your computer. For details, 
refer to the owner’s manual for your MIDI interface.
 
Use a USB MIDI interface cable to connect the USB 
connector of your computer to the MIDI connectors of 
the KR.
Set the Computer switch on the KR’s bottom panel to 
“MIDI,” then turn on the power to the KR.
