Connecting to a Computer Sequencer
To connect your SPS4 to a computer as a MIDI controller, simply connect the SPS4 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 SPS4 being Type B). By default, the
SPS4 will act as a MIDI controller (rather than a hard drive) when connected to a computer.
If you are using a software synthesizer (“Plug-in”) or MP3 playback application on your
computer, you may connect the computer’s Line Out audio output to the Audio In jacks
of your SPS4 to use it’s sound system. This is especially useful if using your SPS4 as a high
quality native sound source and as a controller for a soft synth because both sounds will
come from the same speakers.
