Connecting to other devices
By connecting a computer or a smart device to the instrument via the [iPad] or [USB TO HOST] terminal,
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.
For details on connecting to a computer, refer to the “Computer-related Operations” on the website. For
instructions on connecting to a smart device, refer to the examples of connection via cables on page 21.
NOTE
When using a computer running Windows, the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver should be installed to the computer.
Turning Audio Loopback on/off
This allows you to set whether audio sound input from the computer or smart device via the USB Audio
Interface function above, or the Wi-Fi connection (page 22) 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 the [FUNCTION] button (page 29).
NOTE
• The Audio Loopback function does not affect the input sound from the [AUX IN] jack.
• When Audio Recording by using Smart Pianist, the audio input sound from the connected computer or smart device is recorded when
this is set to “On,” and not recorded when set to “Off.”
