Installing the USB Driver
In order to connect your computer to the SC-8850 via a USB cable, you must first in-
stall the USB driver (MIDI driver). The USB driver is contained in the included CD-
ROM.
The USB driver is software that passes data between your computer application (se-
quencer software etc.) and the SC-8850 when your computer is connected via a USB
cable to the SC-8850.
The USB driver passes data from the application program to the SC-8850, and passes
MIDI messages from the SC-8850 to the application program.

ware Library for SC-8850.

ation has been verified.
You may need to make
various settings on your
computer, so carefully read
the owner’s manual for
your software, and make
the appropriate settings
efore use.
