▋ Notes on USB TO HOST
Bluetooth MIDI takes precedence if a Bluetooth MIDI device and a USB cable are connected at the same time.
When connecting the digital piano to a computer with a USB cable, insert the USB cable rst and then turn on the digital piano.
After connecting the digital piano to a computer via USB, it may take some time to establish communication between them.
If communication becomes unstable on the connection between the digital piano and the computer through a USB hub, connect
the USB cable directly to one of the computer’s USB ports.
Powering on/o the digital piano or plugging/unplugging the USB cable during any of the following situations may cause the
computer or digital piano to exhibit unstable behaviour:
- while installing the driver
- while restarting the computer
- while the MIDI application is running
- while communicating with the computer
- while the computer is in energy-saver mode
Only connect USB memory devices to the [USB to Device] port.
Connect the USB memory device directly, without using a USB extension cable.
Depending on the settings of the computer, the USB function may not work as intended. Please read the owner’s manual of the
computer and adjust the settings accordingly.
