Connecting to a Personal Computer
(TO HOST Terminal/HOST SELECT Switch)
You can enjoy using personal computer music software when you connect your
PSR-530's TO HOST terminal or MIDI terminals to a personal computer.
There are two ways to connect.
Connect using the PSR-530 MIDI terminals.
Connect using the TO HOST terminal.
Connect using the PSR-530 MIDI terminals
Using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI
terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-530.
For the connection cable, use a special MIDI cable.
When the computer has a MIDI interface installed, connect the MIDI OUT
terminal of the personal computer to the MIDI IN terminal of the PSR-530. Set the
HOST SELECT switch to "MIDI."
