Connections
Connecting a personal computer
You can connect the [TO HOST], MIDI [IN][OUT][THRU], or [USB] connector of the PF-500 to your per-
sonal computer and enjoy using the PF-500 in conjunction with musical software on your computer.
There are the three methods by which to connect the PF-500 to a personal computer:
1. Connecting the serial port on the computer to the PF-500’s TO HOST jack (page 52)
2. Using a MIDI interface and the PF-500’s MIDI connectors (page 52)
3. Connecting the USB port on the computer to the PF-500’s USB jack (page 52)
For more information, refer to the following pages.
When connecting the PF-500 to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the PF-500 and the computer before
connecting any cables and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After making connections and switch settings, turn on the
power to the computer first, then to the PF-500.
If you are not using the connection between the PF-500 and your computer, you must disconnect the cable from the [TO
HOST] jack or [USB] jack. The PF-500 may not operate correctly if a cable is left connected.
The connectors that can be used will depend on the setting of the HOST SELECT switch.
