Connecting MIDI

Connecting to a Computer Sequencer
To connect your SP5 to a computer as a MIDI controller, simply connect the SP5 to your
computer using the provided cable. If you wish to use your own cable, make sure that it is a
Type-A-to-Type-B USB cable (the USB port of the SP5 being Type B). By default, the SP5
will act as a MIDI controller (rather than a hard drive) when connected to a computer.
