Connections with other devices
3. Connections with o computer
(C-350 only)
A special PC Ï/F connection cable can be used to con­
nect the C-350 to a computer. This allows the com­
puter to play the C-350, or keyboard playing on the
C-350 to be recorded on the computer-the same op­
erations can be done using MIDI as discussed on the
previous pages.
The C-350 supports direct connection to IBM-PC com­
patibles and Apple Macintosh machines. Connection
is made through a dedicated interface cable running
from the PC (TO HOST) connector. To enable this fea­
ture, you must set the PC/MIDI switch (located on
the piano's rear panel) to the PC side.
Note: Never change the PC/MIDi switch setting while
power is ON. Always turn off the power before
changing the setting.
Note: Never try to use the PC (TO HOST) connector and
the MIDI connectors at the same time. If the switch
is set to PC, use PC (TO HOST) only; if it is set to
MIDI, then use MIDI connectors only. Using the in­
correct connector may cause the connected device
to malfunction.
Note: Be sure to use the appropriate PC interface cable
when using direct PC communication (when the
PC/MIDI switch is set to MIDI).
IBM PC (compatibles):
Connection kit AG-OOIB (connection cable, "Korg MIDI
Driver" software) *sold separately
However, applications which are not Windowscompatible
cannot be used with this method of connection unless they
specifically support the C-350.
Apple Macintosh series:
Connection kit AG-002B (connection cable, "Korg MIDI
Driver" software) *sold separately
Connection with an IBM PC (compatible) via the
AG-OOIB
Use a special PC I/F cable (AG-OOIB) * sold sepa­
rately to connect the serial port (COM port) of
the IBM PC (compatible) to the PC (TO HOST)
connector of the C-350.
if the serial port of your computer uses a 25 pin con­
nector, you will need a 9 pin -25 pin conversion
adapter. *sold separately
Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/MIDi] switch,
and press the [VIBESj switch to set the baud rate
to "38.4kbps".
If you are using Windows, install the KORG MIDI
Driver, For installation, refer to page 24,
Note: You cannot change the baud rate while the PC/MIDI
switch is set to the MIDI side, (the baud rate is fixed
at 31,25 kbps.) Be sure that the switch is set to the
PC side before trying to change the baud rate.
Note: If you set the baud rate to 38.4 kbps but then change
the PC/MIDI switch to the MIDI side and turn the
power on, the baud rate automatically resets to 31.25
kbps. After returning the switch to the PC side, you
will need to change the setting back to 38.4 kbps.
Connection wirti an Apple Macintosh via the AG-
002B
Use a special PC 1/F cable (AG-002B * sold sepa­
rately) to connect the modem port or printer port
of the Apple Macintosh to the PC (TO HOST)
connector of the C-350.
Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/MIDI] switch,i
and press the [STRINGS] switch to set the baud
rate to "31.25kbps".
If you will be using korg MIDI Driver, refer to page
25.
Note: You cannot change the baud rate while the PC/MIDD
switch is set to the MIDI side, (the baud rate is fixed ;
at 31.25 kbps.) Be sure that the switch is set to the
PC side before trying to change the baud rate.
PC (TO HOST) connector
This connector allows the C-350 to be controlled from
the computer, and MIDI message to be transmitted to
the computer. Use a PC I/F cable appropriate for your
computer to connect the PC (TO HOST) of the C-350
to your computer.
