Connecting to Your Computer/MIDI Keyboard
2
Connect the Computer cable to the Serial port (PC), or the Modem or
Printer port (Apple Macintosh series computer) on the back of your com-
puter.
3
Connect the other end of the Computer cable to the Serial connector
(SERIAL) of the SC-8850.
Installing the Serial MIDI Driver
In order to connect your computer to the SC-8850 via a computer cable, you must
first install the Serial MIDI driver (MIDI driver). The Serial MIDI driver driver is con-
tained in the included CD-ROM.
The Serial MIDI driver is software that passes data between your computer applica-
tion (sequencer software etc.) and the SC-8850 when your computer is connected via
a computer cable to the SC-8850.
The Serial MIDI driver passes data from the application program to the SC-8850, and
passes MIDI messages from the SC-8850 to the application program.

For details on installing the Serial MIDI driver, refer to the booklet for the included
Software Library for SC-8850.
You will need to have a
Computer cable (sold
separately) that is appro-
priate for the computer that
you are using. Refer to
Computer Cable Wiring
Diagrams (p. 157).
