Power & Connections
Although the QY100 can be connected to a personal computer via
the MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector
and selector switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh, or IBM-PC/
AT series personal computers for sequencing and other music applications
without the need for a separate MIDI interface.
IMPORTANT!
If the QY100 is to be connected to a computer via the TO HOST connector and a
MIDI controller via the MIDI IN connector, the “echo back”(or “MIDI Thru” etc) func-
tion of the music software or sequencer you are using must be turned “on” so that
the MIDI note data from the controller is returned to the QY100 and any subsequent
devices connected to the QY100 MIDI OUT connector.
