Connect the serial port of the personal computer (RS-
232C terminal or RS-422 terminal) to the TO HOST
terminal of the CVP-205/203. For the connection cable,
use the appropriate cable below (sold separately) that
matches the personal computer type.
■ IBM-PC/AT (Windows)
Connect the RS-232C terminal on the computer to the
TO HOST terminal on the CVP-205/203 using a serial
cable (D-SUB 9P → MINI DIN 8P cross cable). Set the
CVP-205/203 HOST SELECT switch to the “PC-2.”
(Data transfer rate is 38,400 bps.)
■ Macintosh
Connect RS-422 terminal (modem or printer) on the
computer to the TO HOST terminal on the CVP-205/
203 using a serial cable (system peripheral cable, 8
bit). Set the CVP-205/203 HOST SELECT switch to the
“MAC” (Data transfer rate is 31,250 bps).
Set the MIDI interface clock in the sequencer you are
using to 1 MHz. For details, refer to the owner’s
manual for the particular software you are using.
Using the MIDI terminals
When using a MIDI interface device installed in the
personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the
personal computer and the CVP-205/203 with standard
MIDI cables.
• When the computer has a MIDI interface installed,
connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the personal
computer to the MIDI IN terminal. Set the HOST
SELECT switch to “MIDI.”
• When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series
computer, connect the RS-422 terminal of the
computer (modem or printer terminal) to the MIDI
interface, then connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the
MIDI interface to the MIDI IN terminal of the CVP-
205/203, as shown in the diagram below.
Set the HOST SELECT switch to “MIDI.”
• When the HOST SELECT switch is set to “MIDI,” the
TO HOST terminal is disabled.
• When using a Macintosh series computer, set the
MIDI interface clock setting in the application
software to match the setting of the MIDI interface
you are using. For details, refer to the owner’s
manual for the particular software you are using.
If your system does not work properly with the connections and
settings listed above, your software may require different settings.
Check your software operation manual and set the HOST SELECT
switch to the proper data transfer rate. (Data transfer rate of “PC-1”
is 31,250 bps.)
