Chapter 11 : TO HOST connection

As well as the standard MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU connections, the CBX-D5 also has a 
“TO HOST” connection. This allows direct connection to computers that do not have a 
built-in or external MIDI interface.

The CBX-D5 has four interface modes for connecting to a controlling computer: MIDI, 
Mac, PC-1, and PC-2. These interface modes are explained below.

This mode is for use with a computer that has a MIDI interface. That is, a computer with 
a built-in MIDI interface, such as the Atari ST, STE, and TT range of computers, an Apple 
Macintosh computer with an external MIDI interface unit, or a PC-9801 or IBM PC/AT 
compatible type computer fitted with a MIDI interface. Most MIDI music software can be 
used with this type of connection.

The “HOST SELECT” switch should be set to MIDI.

The connecting MIDI cable should be of the type described in the “TO HOST computer 
connecting cables” on page 33.

The table below explains how the MIDI signals are handled in MIDI mode.

TO HOST 

RECEIVE No function.

SEND

NOTE: Depending on the application software used, it is possible that the HOST 

function on the CBX-D5 (the function that allows you to make a MIDI 
connection to a host computer without a MIDI interface) may not work.
