What is USB?
USB, short for “Universal Serial Bus,” is a type of
interface for connecting computers with a variety of
peripheral devices. Using USB allows you to connect
different peripherals using a single USB cable, and also
provides rapid data transmission.
What’s more, you can connect and disconnect
peripherals with the power on, and the computer can
automatically recognize when devices are connected
(you may need to make settings when connecting
certain devices).
Realtime audio signals and MIDI messages cannot be
handled via the BR-600’s USB connector.
