use the appropriate cable below (sold separately) that 
matches the personal computer type.

■ IBM-PC/AT (Windows)

Connect the RS-232C terminal on the computer to the 
TO HOST terminal on the CVP-205/203 using a serial 
cable (D-SUB 9P 

→

 MINI DIN 8P cross cable). Set the 

CVP-205/203 HOST SELECT switch to the “PC-2.” 
(Data transfer rate is 38,400 bps.)

■ Macintosh

Connect RS-422 terminal (modem or printer) on the 
computer to the TO HOST terminal on the CVP-205/
203 using a serial cable (system peripheral cable, 8 
bit). Set the CVP-205/203 HOST SELECT switch to the 
“MAC” (Data transfer rate is 31,250 bps).

Set the MIDI interface clock in the sequencer you are 
using to 1 MHz. For details, refer to the owner’s

When using a MIDI interface device installed in the 
personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the 
personal computer and the CVP-205/203 with standard 
MIDI cables.

• When the computer has a MIDI interface installed, 

connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the personal 
computer to the MIDI IN terminal. Set the HOST 
SELECT switch to “MIDI.”

• When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series 

computer, connect the RS-422 terminal of the 
computer (modem or printer terminal) to the MIDI 
interface, then connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the 
MIDI interface to the MIDI IN terminal of the CVP-
205/203, as shown in the diagram below.
Set the HOST SELECT switch to “MIDI.”

• When the HOST SELECT switch is set to “MIDI,” the 

TO HOST terminal is disabled.

• When using a Macintosh series computer, set the 

MIDI interface clock setting in the application 
software to match the setting of the MIDI interface 
you are using. For details, refer to the owner’s 
manual for the particular software you are using.

If your system does not work properly with the connections and 
settings listed above, your software may require different settings. 
Check your software operation manual and set the HOST SELECT
