Using the SH-201 together with your

computer or another sound module

You can use the SH-201 in more sophisticated ways by connecting it to your computer or to other MIDI
equipment.

If you’ve connected the SH-201 to your computer via USB, you’ll be able to record the sound of the SH-201 or the
sound from a device connected to the SH-201’s INPUT jacks into your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)
software on the computer, and to play back the sound from the DAW on a speaker system connected to the
OUTPUT jacks of the SH-201. (This is referred to as “USB audio” functionality.)

You can also use your sequence software to record the performance data (MIDI data) from the SH-201. (This is
referred to as “USB MIDI” functionality.)

* You can use USB audio and USB MIDI at the same time.
