Connecting to a Personal Computer
By connecting your PSR-280’s MIDI terminals to a personal computer, you can
have access to a wide variety of music software.
When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect
the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-280.
Use only special MIDI cables when connecting MIDI devices.
● Connect the MIDI terminals of the PSR-280 to the MIDI termi-
nals of the personal computer.
● When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series com-
puter, connect the RS-422 terminal of the computer (modem
or printer terminal) to the MIDI interface, as shown in the dia-
gram below.

Viewing the Notation for MIDI
Channel 1
• The PSR-280 has a special func-
tion that lets you view the notes
of the MIDI data (channel 1 only)
on the display.
Bank LSB Cancel Function
• The PSR-280 lets you disable or
ignore incoming Bank LSB mes-
sages, which might otherwise
cause problems when selecting
PSR-280 voices from an exter-
nal device. To cancel Bank LSB
messages, simultaneously hold
down the lowest key on the key-
board (C1) and turn the power on
([STANDBY] button).
