What is the USB MIDI driver?
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which passes data between
the MC-808 and the application (sequencer software, etc.) that is
running on the USB-connected computer.
The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the application to the
MC-808, and passes data from the MC-808 to the application.
