USB COMPUTER port
If you use a commercially available USB cable to connect the F-20’s USB
COMPUTER port to your computer’s USB port, you’ll be able to do the following
things.
• SMF data played back by MIDI-compatible software can be sounded by the
F-20.
• MIDI data can be transferred between the F-20 and your sequencer software,
opening up a wide range of possibilities for music production and editing.
Placing the F-20 on a Stand
If you want to place the F-20 on a stand, use the Roland KSC-68 (refer to the KSC-68 Owner’s Manual), KS-18Z or KS-12.
