Note for Windows users (regarding the MIDI driver)
To transfer data via the computer’s serial port and the PF-500’s TO HOST jack, you need to install a spe-
cific MIDI driver (the Yamaha CBX driver for Windows). You can download this driver from XG Library
on the Yamaha Web site (http://www.yamaha-xg.com) or install from the Accessory CD-ROM included
with the PF-500.
