1. MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
(1) Connecting with a Computer
The performance possibilities of your SK-50 can be enhanced by connecting it with a computer,
and using Desk Top Music software to create and play computer-based compositions.
Be sure to have power OFF on all units before attempting to make any connections.
The connection between the SK-50 and your computer needs to be made using a COMPUTER
cable. Depending on the type of computer you are connecting to, the type of cable and the
connector it provides needs to be constructed differently.
We recommend that you obtain an optionally available COMPUTER cable from the retailer
where you purchased your SK-50. Or, you may want to purchase the appropriate cable at a
computer shop; in which case you should carefully study the “Wiring Diagrams for
COMPUTER Cables” (
☞ p. 38) beforehand to make sure you obtain the right cable.
Before making a change in the position of the COMPUTER mode selection switch, always have
the power on the SK-50 turned OFF. If the power has been left ON, the unit may not operate
normally.
When Soft Thru function on your computer is turned ON, data for everything you play on the
SK-50’s keyboard will circle around through the external unit and come right back again. To
avoid having every note sounded twice, you should turn OFF the Local function on the SK-50
(☞ p. 23). Each time the power is turned on, the Local Setting will always be set to OFF.
