Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices –
By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, you can transmit/receive MIDI data or Audio
data between the instrument and the computer. For details on using a computer with this instrument, refer
to the “Computer-related Operations” on the website (page 9).
CAUTION
If you are using a DAW (digital audio workstation) application with this instrument, set the Audio Loopback function (page 105)
to off. Otherwise, a loud sound may occur, depending on the settings of the computer or the application software.
NOTICE
Use an AB type USB cable of less than 3 meters. USB 3.0 cables cannot be used.
NOTE
• When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your computer, make the connection directly without passing through a USB hub.
• The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the computer is connected.
• Unexpected sounds may occur if you edit MIDI data related to the Grand Expression Modeling (page 53) on a computer.
Transmitting/Receiving Audio Data (USB Audio Interface function)
By connecting a computer or a smart device to the [USB TO HOST] terminal via a USB cable, digital audio
data can be transmitted/received. This USB Audio Interface function provides the following advantages:
Playing back audio data with high sound quality
This gives you direct, clear sound in which the sound quality has less noise and deterioration than that from
the [AUX IN] jack.
Recording performance on the instrument as audio data by using a recording
software or a music production software
The recorded audio data can be played back on the computer or smart device.
NOTE
• When transmitting or receiving audio signals by using a computer running Windows, the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver should be
installed to the computer. For details, refer to the “Computer-related Operations” on the website.
• For instructions on connecting to a smart device, refer to the “Smart Device Connection Manual” on the website.
Turning Audio Loopback On/Off
This allows you to set whether Audio Input Sound (page 107) from the external device is output to a
computer or a smart device or not along with the performance played on the instrument. To output the Audio
Input Sound, set the Audio Loopback to “On.”
For example, if you want to record the Audio Input Sound as well as the sound played on the instrument by
using the connected computer or smart device, set this to “On.” If you intend to record only the sound
played on the instrument by using the computer or smart device, set this to “Off.”
The setting can be made via [Menu] [Utility] [Speaker/Connectivity] [Audio Loopback].
NOTE
• With Audio Recording (page 76), the Audio Input Sound from the external device is recorded when this is set to “On,” and not recorded
when set to “Off.”
• The sound cannot be output to a device connected by the [AUX IN] jack or Bluetooth.
