Connecting Directly to a Computer
The MU128 features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to di-
rectly connect it to your computer — eliminating the need of installing a
special MIDI interface to your computer. The MU128 can be used with the
following computers: Apple Macintosh and compatibles, IBM PC/AT and
compatibles.
If your computer has a MIDI interface you may want to connect the
MU128 to it, rather than using the host computer interface on the MU128.
(See the section “Connecting to MIDI Devices” on page 32.)
Depending on the computer or interface used, set the HOST SELECT
switch to the appropriate setting: MIDI, PC-1, PC-2 (IBM and compatibles),
or Mac (Macintosh and compaibles). For information on the types of cables
that can be used for connection, see the section “MIDI/Computer Con-
necting Cables” on page 101.
Operation
1 Set the HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel of the MU128 to
the appropriate setting:
For IBM PC/AT or compatible computers: PC-2
For Macintosh computers: Mac
