Reverse this order when you turn the power off. Then, turn on the power, first to the instrument, then to the connected exter- nal equipment. MIDI settings such as Local Control are made in the Function settings (page 29 Function 015–017).Įxternal equipment only after turning off power for all devices. If you use the UX16 interface, install the driver supplied with the interface on your computer. Make sure to purchase a Yamaha UX16 or a quality USB-MIDI interface at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store. A Yamaha UX16 or similar USB-MIDI interface (sold separately) will be neces- sary for MIDI connection between the instrument and a USB-equipped computer. When MIDI-equipped instruments are connected via a MIDI cable, it becomes possible to transfer performance and setting data between them for significantly enhanced performance and production potential.īy connecting the instrument to other MIDI devices or a computer, the perfor- mance data of the instrument can be used on those other MIDI devices or com- puter, and also the performance data from other MIDI devices and computer can be received and sounded with the instrument.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard interface for communication between electronic musical instruments and music devices. So such a cable only could work with separate power adapter/supply.The instrument features a MIDI terminals that can be connected to other MIDI instru- ments and devices for expanded musical functionality. Still hoping, any big concern will produce a fitting cable from "USB-B" to DIN, but the problem is that USB-B has no power supply like USB-A, because its generally a USB input and no output. The backside USB is for connection with pc and should be working in both directions.

Iam still looking for suitable midi-cables, but the problem is - the front usb is only for usb-sticks and not for midi cables at npv80. I think, a simple software like reaper or other non-commercial solutions should be able to do that, but I just didnt try it out.

Now you only have to explain the netbook, that it has to switch the midi signals coming in from the NPV80/60 to the MIDI Cable.

I think, the only solution is a cheap netbook to be used as midi-bridge, so you connect the netbook via normal USB-A to USB-B Cable (like to connect a printer) to the NP-V80/60 and use the described "USB-A" to "DIN" Midi from another USB plug of the netbook to connect to your modules / old MIDI Devices.
