Connecting a Personal Computer
You can enjoy computer music data on the YDP-123 by connecting a computer to the MIDI jack.
There are two methods by which to connect the YDP-123 to a personal computer:
1. Use a MIDI interface and the YDP-123’s MIDI connectors (page 25).
2. Use the USB port on the computer and a USB interface (model UX16, UX96, or UX256) (page 25).
NOTE
When the YDP-123 is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the YDP-123 will not
be played correctly.
“The Clavinova-Computer Connection,”
is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you
can do with your YDP-123 and a personal computer and how to set up a YDP-123-Computer system (although the
guidebook only mentions the Clavinova, it applies equally to the YDP-123 digital piano). The document is available as
a PDF file (in English) at the following Internet address:

NOTE
Before you connect the YDP-123 to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the YDP-123 and the computer.
After you make the connections, turn on the power to the computer first, then turn on the power to the YDP-123.
