Chapter 7. Connecting an External MIDI Device
 
If you use a commercially available USB cable to connect the JUNO-
STAGE’s rear panel USB MIDI connector to a USB connector on your 
computer, you’ll be able to do the following things.
• SMF played back by MIDI-compatible software can be sounded 
by the JUNO-STAGE.
• MIDI messages can be exchanged between the JUNO-STAGE 
and your sequencer software, allowing you to carry out 
sophisticated music production and editing.

Installing the USB Driver
What is the USB MIDI driver?
The USB MIDI driver is software that passes data between your 
computer application (e.g., sequencer software) and the JUNO-
STAGE when your computer and the JUNO-STAGE are 
connected via a USB cable.
The USB driver passes data from your application to the JUNO-
STAGE, and passes data from the JUNO-STAGE to your 
application.
