You can enjoy using personal computer music software when you connect your DD-55’s MIDI ter-
minals to a personal computer. Make sure to use only special MIDI cables.
● Connect the MIDI terminals of the DD-55 to the MIDI terminals of the MIDI inter-
face installed to your computer.
● When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series computer, connect the RS-422
terminal of the computer (modem or printer terminal) to the MIDI interface, as shown
in the diagram below.
● When connecting to a computer with a USB interface, use the Yamaha UX256 USB/
MIDI Interface. Connect the UX256 and the computer with a standard USB cable,
then make the proper MIDI connections between the DD-55 and the UX256.
