Connecting to a Computer
If you use a USB cable (commercially available) to connect the
USB (MIDI) connector located on the FP-7’s rear panel to the
USB connector of your computer, you’ll be able to do the
following things.
• Use the FP-7 to play SMF music files played back by MIDI-
compatible software.
• By transferring MIDI data between the FP-7 and your
sequencer software, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range
of possibilities for music production and editing.
Connect the FP-7 to your computer as shown below.
