CLP-920
Connecting to a Personal Computer
Although the Clavinova can be connected to a personal computer via the
MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector and
HOST SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT
personal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the
need for a separate MIDI interface.
Connect the TO HOST connector of the Clavinova to the modem or
printer port on your Macintosh, depending on which port your MIDI
software is using for MIDI data communication, using a standard
Macintosh 8-pin system peripheral cable. Set the HOST SELECT
switch to the “Mac” position.
You may also have to make other MIDI interface settings on the
computer side, depending on the type of software you use (refer to your
software owner’s manual). In any case the clock speed should be set to
1 MHz.

• 8-pin system peripheral cable.
• Data transfer rate: 31,250 bps.
NOTE
• When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn the power to both the Clavinova and the computer
OFF before connecting the cable and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After connecting the cable and making the
appropriate HOST SELECT switch setting, turn the power to the computer on first, then turn on the Clavinova.
• When not using the [TO HOST] terminal of the Clavinova, make sure the cable is disconnected from the [TO HOST]
terminal. If the cable is left connected, the Clavinova may not function properly.
• When the HOST SELECT switch is set to “Mac”, “PC-1”, or “PC-2, no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors.
To use the MIDI connectors for connection via a standard MIDI interface, set the HOST SELECT switch to “MIDI”.
“The Clavinova-Computer Connection” is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for
beginners, what you can do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a
Clavinova-Computer system (the manual is not written for any specific models). The document
is available as a PDF file (in English) at the following Internet address:
