Connecting a Personal Computer
By connecting a computer to the MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the NP-30/YNP-25
and the computer via MIDI.
CAUTION
When connecting the NP-30/YNP-25 to a computer, first turn off the power to both the NP-30/
YNP-25 and the computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the
power to the computer first, then to the NP-30/YNP-25.
Connecting the USB port on the computer to the
NP-30/YNP-25 via an optional USB-MIDI interface
(such as the Yamaha UX16)
Use a USB-MIDI interface device to connect the USB port on your computer to the
NP-30’s/YNP-25’s MIDI terminals. You must install the USB-MIDI interface (such as
the UX16) driver. For more information, refer to the user’s manual that came with the
USB-MIDI interface device.
When the NP-30/YNP-25 is used
as a tone module, performance
data with voices that are not
found on the NP-30/YNP-25 will
not be played correctly.
NOTE
You must install a software appli-
cation on the computer to be able
to transfer MIDI data between the
NP-30/YNP-25 and a computer.
