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 connec-
tion to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT personal computers for
sequencing and other music applications without the need for a
separate MIDI interface.
■
Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series Computer
.......
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 periph-
eral 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.
■
Connecting to an IBM-PC/AT Series Computer
................
Connect the TO HOST connector of the Clavinova to the RS-232C port on your
IBM computer, using a standard 8-pin MINI DIN
→
9-pin D-SUB cross cable. Set
the HOST SELECT switch to the “PC-2” position.
Refer to your software owner’s manual for information on any settings you
might have to make on the computer side.

• When using the [TO HOST]
terminal of the Clavinova, first
turn the power off on both the
Clavinova and the computer
before connecting the cable.
After connecting the cable,
turn the power of the compu-
ter on first, then 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 func-
tion properly.
• When the HOST SELECT
switch is set to “Mac”, “PC-1”,
or “PC-2, no data transfer
occurs via the MIDI connec-
tors. To use the MIDI connec-
tors for connection via a
standard MIDI interface, set
the HOST SELECT switch to
“MIDI”.
• If your system doesn’t work
properly with the connections
and settings listed above,
your software may require
different settings. Check your
software operation manual
and if it requires a 31,250
bps. data transfer rate, set
the HOST SELECT switch to
“PC-1”.
