USB
The ES3/5 can be connected with a personal computer with a USB cable for exchanging MIDI
data. You need a USB driver installed in your computer.
[For Windows XP/Me users]
A standard USB driver is already installed in your computer. You don't need to install a new driver.
[For Windows 2000/98SE users]
You need to install the designated driver in your computer. Visit the KAWAI web site at http://
www.kawai.co.jp/english/Download1.html and download the program.
[For Macintosh users]
Currently we don't have a USB driver available for Macintosh computers. Please use an appropriate
MIDI interface and MIDI cables when connecting the ES3/5 to a Macintosh computer.
NOTE:
When both MIDI jacks and USB jack are connected, USB has priority.
When connecting USB cable to the ES3/5, first connect the USB cable and then turn the power of
the ES3/5 on.
It may take some time to startcommunication when the ES3/5 is connected to the computer via
USB.
When USB communication is unstable with connection via hub, connect the USB cable directly to
the USB port of the computer.
Turning the power of ES3/5 on/off or disconnecting the USB cable while the following actions may
cause unstable communication.
while installing USB driver
while booting up the computer
while MIDI application is working
