Q19:How can I connect TENORI-ON to a personal computer via MIDI?

To use TENORI-ON with computer-based MIDI sequencing software, you must use a device called a "MIDI interface" to establish a MIDI connection between TENORI-ON and a personal computer.

*Use the DIN cable supplied (mini DIN<>DIN 5pin: female) to connect the mini-DIN jack on your TENORI-ON to a USB-MIDI interface, then connect the USB-MIDI interface to your personal computer.(Refer to page 4 of the TENORI-ON quick guide "Connecting the TENORI-ON to external devices," and page 7 of the TENORI-ON manual "Sending MIDI information from TENORI-ON to a personal computer.")

Yamaha Corporation offers the UX16 USB-MIDI interface. Please see the following for details.
*Be sure to check the operating environment of your personal computer (the personal computer you are using with the UX series).
