Operation Manual

1. Connecting the serial port on a computer to the Clavinova’s [TO HOST] con-

nector

Connect the computer’s serial port (RS-232C or RS-422) to the Clavinova’s [TO HOST] connector. With this

connection, the Clavinova functions as a MIDI interface device (a device that helps a computer communicate

with a MIDI instrument). You do not need a special MIDI interface device.

You must install a MIDI driver to the computer so that the computer’s serial port can handle MIDI informa-

tion. Click here for more information on the MIDI driver.

Making a connection

puter’s serial port (RS-232C or RS-422) to the
