How To Connect A Yamaha Keyboard To A Computer 8 Steps

USB audio and MIDI: A USB audio and MIDI port is capable of sending both audio and MIDI data. You can connect to these ports using a USB A-to-B cable USB MIDI Only: A USB MIDI only port can send MIDI data to your keyboard, but not audio data. You can connect to these ports using a USB A-to-B cable. MIDI Port: Some older keyboard do not have a USB port. Instead, they have a MIDI out port. MIDI ports are circular shaped with 5 pins. To connect these cables to your computer, you will need an audio interface with a MIDI in port. Line-out/Auxilary:. Some keyboards have a line-out or auxiliary port that you can connect to using a 1/4" audio cable. You can also use the headphone port on your keyboard as a line-out port.

USB: If you have a USB A-to-B cable connected directly to your keyboard, you can connect the other end of the cable directly to a free port on your computer. MIDI: If you are using a MIDI cable, connect the other end of the cable to the round MIDI In port on your audio interface. Then, connect the audio interface to your computer using a USB A-to-B cable.

If you are using a 1/4" audio cable to connect to your computer and you do not have an audio interface, you can connect directly to the microphone port on your computer using a 3. 5mm adapter.
