What is the USB MIDI Driver?
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which passes data between
the Fantom-Xa and the application (sequencer software, etc.)
that is running on the USB-connected computer.
The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the application to the
Fantom-Xa, and passes data from the Fantom-Xa to the
application.
