Using USB
The Pro 3’s USB 2.0 port enables bidirectional MIDI communication
with a computer. A MIDI interface and MIDI cables are not neces-
sary, just a USB cable. The Pro 3 is a Class Compliant USB device.
That means it does not require any additional drivers to be installed to
communicate with a Mac or Windows computer. The Pro 3 transmits and
receives MIDI data via USB, but does not transmit audio.
MIDI In and USB should not be used at the same time, as overlapping
messages from different sources may cause the Pro 3 to respond unpredictably. MIDI
Out and USB can be used at the same time and transmit the same data.
Under Mac OS, “Pro 3” will appear as a MIDI port when connected via
USB and can be congured using the Mac’s Audio MIDI Setup utility
(typically found in Applications/Utilities).
Under Windows, the rst time the Pro 3 is connected via USB, the
“Found new hardware” alert appears and it is automatically installed as
“Pro 3.”
In Windows, if you unplug the USB cable and plug it back in while a
program has the Pro 3 port open, you may have to resync. That usually
means going to the Pro 3 Keyboard Properties — in the Windows Device
Manager under “Sound, video, and game controllers” — and clicking
OK. If Pro 3 is no longer listed in the Device Manager, turn off the Pro 3
then turn it back on again while it is connected via USB. It should be
detected on power up.
