Connect the USB keyboard to the USB ports on the back or front of your computer. If you're using a USB hub, it can also connect to the hub. However, we recommend a direct connection to the back of the computer if possible. If you have a laptop computer, an external keyboard can also connect to one of the USB ports. Connect the keyboard and computer to the power outlet to determine if the connection is fine. You may also be required to install a device driver for the musical keyboard.

If you have a Yamaha keyboard that has a “USB TO DEVICE” port – that is, an instrument with an input for a USB flash drive (also called a “thumb drive”) – you can turn it into a music player. Popular models with this facility include the PSR-E443, Tyros5, Clavinova CLP-535 and Clavinova CVP-705.

Here’s how:

1) Purchase a title from the online Yamaha PianoSoft catalog. Here you’ll find hundreds of examples of piano music, complete with background tracks. Be sure and choose your model in the instrument selection box (shown below) while browsing to see compatible titles:

2) After purchasing, your selection will be available for download. You can either download it right away from your final checkout screen, or download it later from your account:

3) Like any downloaded file, it will be stored on your computer. When you click the download button, pay attention to where the file is being saved since you will need to find it again in the next step. Often, customers simply save it to their desktop screen for easy retrieval.

4) Insert a USB flash drive (thumb drive) into your computer.

5) Find the downloaded PianoSoft file on your computer and copy (drag) it to the USB flash drive.

6) Remove the USB flash drive from your computer and insert it into your keyboard’s USB port. This port may be on the front or the back of the instrument, depending on your model:

7) Use your instrument’s display menu to locate the USB drive and select the title:

8) Now you can interact with the song just like the other built-in songs on your instrument. Play, pause, rewind, transpose, speed up and slow down – or just listen! Yamaha’s library of PianoSoft music can offers endless ways to enjoy your instrument. And don’t forget to check out all the other great products from YamahaMusicSoft.com!

Connecting a subwoofer to your digital piano or keyboard

Thank your for your recent order from Kraft Music. Connecting a subwoofer to your digital piano is a great way to enhance the sound of the instrument’s on-board speakers. Adding a sub will give you a richer, fuller tone and result in a more realistic playing experience. Let’s get started and connect your sub!

1. Power off your digital piano and subwoofer.
2. Locate the audio outputs on the rear or underside of your digital piano. These are often labeled “line out” or “output”. If the outputs are labeled “L/Mono + R Output” use “L/Mono” . Use the output labeled “Phones/Output” if no other outputs are available. You’ll see either a pair of connectors or a single connector. These will be either a ¼” jack (like a guitar cable), RCA jack (like a CD player), or 1/8” output (like your smartphone or MP3 player).
3. Using the audio cable included in your Kraft Music bundle (not the stereo RCA cable included with in the subwoofer box), plug the RCA end into the Left subwoofer input (RCA) and the other end into the audio output of your digital piano.
4. Power on both the digital piano and the subwoofer. Set the volume control on the subwoofer to about 50% or half (12 O’clock position on the Kinyo AW630).
5. Slowly increase the volume of the digital piano while playing a low note. The subwoofer should begin producing low frequencies along with your playing. If only the subwoofer is making sound, the digital piano may have an internal on/off setting that can be adjusted. Please refer to your digital piano owner’s manual to set the internal speaker to “always on”.
6. Adjust the volume and crossover (frequency) setting until you like the sound. We recommend setting the crossover between 100 and 150 Hz and the volume between ½ and 3/4. This will result in a full and focused bass sound. A good setting is achieved when the subwoofer is neither too loud nor too soft.
