Hi liberatusvirus,
Thanks for the reply. I'm reinstalling what I think is the latest
drivers from Yamaha site. Funny that when I installed the other CBX
driver, there was just a Win 95/98 option. I did change what I could
in compatibility...? Anyway this new driver at the site is listed
for Win XP, so I'll try that!
Thanks for confirming TO HOST is a midi in/out! The manual (in a
couple/few) places say something that throw me off about this HOST
port!
As for Cubase...I think I hope it set right!...???? I'll Ck again
for the up-teenth time.
If I can transmit into Cubase through this HOST cable, I think it
would receive as well. Reading manuals & experimenting all this
weekend!!!["sigh"]
It's said this HOST is not used by many...I Think I now know why
["humrph"]
