Use of computer and setup
You can add effect algorithms via a USB connection. You can also use a computer editor to easily and
intuitively change the equalizer and dynamics parameters. What’s more, you can also exchange MIDI
signals with the computer. For more details and descriptions of this operation, please read “ReadMe” on
the included CD-ROM.
Both Mac OS and Windows are supported. The system requirements are as follows.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an interface for connecting peripheral equipment to computers.
It is a standard that lets you connect a variety of peripherals using a single USB cable. It also
allows peripheral devices to be connected or disconnected while the power is left on.
