Connecting a Personal Computer
By connecting a computer to the MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the P-85 and the
computer via MIDI.
CAUTION
When connecting the P-85 to a computer, first turn off the power to both the P-85 and the com-
puter before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the com-
puter first, then to the P-85.
Connecting the USB port on the computer to the
P-85 via an optional USB-MIDI interface (such as the
Yamaha UX16)
Use a USB-MIDI interface device to connect the USB port on your computer to the P-
85’s MIDI terminals. You must install the USB-MIDI interface (such as the UX16)
driver. For more information, refer to the user’s manual that came with the USB-MIDI
interface device.
Transferring Data between the Computer and the Instrument
You can save backup data of this instrument, such as recorded songs, etc., to a computer, as well as
load the saved data back to the instrument from the computer.
To transfer the backup data, you must first download Musicsoft Downloader (free soft-
ware) from Yamaha website at the following URL, and install it on your computer.
http://music.yamaha.com/download/
Please visit the URL above to get the information on the computer system requirement
for Musicsoft Downloader.
For more information on transferring data, please refer to “Transferring Data Between
the Computer and Instrument (for unprotected data)” in the Help file that came with
Musicsoft Downloader.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the power to this instrument or unplug the instrument during data transmission.
Otherwise, the data being transmitted will not be saved. Furthermore, flash memory operation
may become unstable, causing the entire memory to be erased when you turn the power to the
instrument on or off.
CAUTION
Do not rename the backup file on the computer. If you do so, it will not be recognized when
transferred to the instrument.
Initializing the settings
Turn off the power to the instrument. Then turn the power on while holding the C7
key (right-most key on the keyboard). When you initialize the settings, all data will be
initialized and reset to the factory default settings.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the power to this instrument while it is initializing the data in its internal memory
(that is, while the [REC] and [PLAY] button indicators are flashing).
When the P-85 is used as a tone
module, performance data with
voices that are not found on the
P-85 will not be played correctly.
NOTE
You must install a software appli-
cation on the computer to be able
to transfer MIDI data between the
P-85 and a computer.
