1.3 Installation 

Groovestation does not need other driver to work with a computer, only needs 
the USB Audio Driver built in the system. 
The   first   time   you   connect   Groovestation  to   your   computer,   it   will 
automatically   install   the   general   USB-Audio   Driver.  After   installation,   the 
system will tell you the "new hardware" is ready to use. 

1.3.1 Play with your Application Software

Generally,   in   PC   or   Mac,   most   MIDI   software   will   have   a   MIDI   port 
configuration   or   settings,   sometimes   it   called  "MIDI   Devices"  or  "MIDI 
Setup". You can choose and enable your MIDI input and output devices in it.
If the Groovestation  driver is properly installed, and there is not other MIDI 
device connected, the MIDI In port of Groovestation  In-1 (or  "Port 1"on the 
Mac)  will  be  selected  as  the  first  midi  input,  while  the  MIDI  Out  port  of 
Groovestation Out-1 (or Port 1) will be selected as the first midi output.
If the MIDI software runs, and the MIDI-In and Out port in Groovestation are 
selected, the MIDI message will be received when playing the Groovestation 
keyboard. Also, the soft can send the midi message out to other device through 
the Groovestation  "USB"MIDI OUT. You can connect this USB MIDI OUT 
port with the other sound module or virtual instrument.

1.4 MIDI Connection

MIDI connector is a standard 5-pin DIN connector which is used to connect 
the Groovestation to sound module or virtual instrument interface" with a 
MIDI cable.
