In this connection, the Clavinova functions as a MIDI interface. Therefore, you do not need a special
MIDI interface.

Note for Windows users (regarding the MIDI driver)
To transfer data via the computer’s serial port and the Clavinova’s TO HOST jack, you need to install a
specific MIDI driver (the Yamaha CBX driver for Windows). You can download this driver from XG
Library on the Yamaha Web site (http://www.yamaha-xg.com) or install from the Accessory CD-ROM
included with the Clavinova.
