3. Connecting a computer
A special PC I/F cable can be used to connect the C-
4500 to your computer, allowing the C-4500 to be
played from your computer or a performance on the
C-4500 to be recorded on your computer in the same
way as when using MIDI.
The C-4500 can be connected using a special PC I/F
cable to an IBM PC compatible or to an Apple
Macintosh computer.
The PC/MIDI select switch must be moved only
when the power is turned off.
If the PC/MIDI select switch is in the PC position,
you must connect a special PC I/F cable (not
include) to the PC (TO HOST) connector.
On the C-4500, setting the PC/MIDI select switch to
the MIDI position will automatically set the
synchronization frequency to 31.25 kbps. Even if
you subsequently set the PC/MIDI select switch to
the PC position, it will remain at 31.25 kbps.
Change the setting as necessary.
PC (TO HOST) connector
This connector allows the C-4500 to be controlled from a computer, or
the C-4500 to send MIDI messages to a computer.
Use a PC I/F cable of a type appropriate for your computer to connect
the C-4500's PC (TO HOST) connector to your computer.

Connecting an IBM PC compatible
Make connections using the AG-001B connection kit
(connection cable, “Korg MIDI Driver” software [sold
separately]).
However, applications that do not support Windows
cannot be used with this type of connection unless
they specifically support the C-4500.
1. Use the special connection cable (AG-001B [sold
separately]) to connect the serial port (COM
port) of the IBM PC compatible to the PC (TO
HOST) connector of the C-4500.
If your computer has a 25 pin serial port, you will
need to obtain a 9 pin – 25 pin adapter.
2. Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch, and press the [HARPSI] sound selector
switch.
The synchronization frequency will be set to
38.4 kbps.
3. If you are using Windows, install the Korg
MIDI Driver.
For the installation procedure, refer to the separate
sheet.
Connecting an Apple Macintosh series
computer
Make connections using the AG-002B connection kit
(connection cable, “Korg MIDI Driver” software [sold
separately]).
It is not possible to make connections via the TO
HOST connector with a Macintosh that does not
have serial ports (modem/printer).
1. Use the special connection cable (AG-002B [sold
separately]) to connect the modem port or
printer port of the Apple Macintosh to the PC
(TO HOST) connector of the C-4500.
2. Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch, and press the [ORGAN] sound selector
switch.
The synchronization frequency will be set to
31.25 kbps.
3. If you wish to use the Korg MIDI Driver, refer
to the separate sheet.
