Connecting to a Personal Computer
Although the CVP-94/92 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 pe-
ripheral 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 CVP-94/92, first
turn the power off on both the
CVP-94/92 and the computer
before connecting the cable.
After connecting the cable,
turn the power of the computer
on first, then the CVP-94/92.
• When not using the [TO
HOST] terminal of the CVP-94/
92, make sure the cable is
disconnected from the [TO
HOST] terminal. If the cable is
left connected, the CVP-94/92
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 connec-
tors. To use the MIDI connec-
tors for connection via a stand-
ard 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”.
