What is the USB MIDI Driver?
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which passes data
between the RD-300GX 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
RD-300GX, and passes data from the RD-300GX to the
application.
