USB MIDI Driver
To operate the PF-500 from your computer via USB, you’ll need to
install the appropriate driver software.
The USB-MIDI driver is software that transfers MIDI data back and
forth between sequence software and the PF-500 via a USB cable.
→ Windows 98/Me users See below.
→ Windows 2000 users See page 6.
→ Windows XP users See page 7.
n Before you install the USB MIDI driver, you can minimize the
possibility of problems by putting your computer in the following
state.
• Close all applications and windows that you are not using.
• Disconnect all cables from the PF-500 except for the cable
whose driver you are installing.
● Installing the driver on a Windows 98/Me
system
1 Start the computer.
2 Insert the included CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
3 Make sure the POWER switch on the PF-500 is set to OFF and
use the USB cable to connect the USB terminal of the computer
(or the USB hub) to the USB terminal of the PF-500. When the
PF-500 is turned on, the computer automatically displays the
“Add New Hardware Wizard.” If the Add New Hardware Wizard
does not appear, click “Add New Hardware” in the Control Panel.
n For Windows Me users, check the radio button to the left of “Au-
tomatic search for a better driver (Recommended)” and click
[Next]. The system automatically starts searching and installing
the driver. Proceed to Step 8. If the system does not detect the driv-
er, select “Specify the location of the driver (Advanced)” and spec-
ify the CD-ROM drive’s root directory (e.g., D:\) to install the
driver.
