Playing Midi File From Pc To Yamaha Psr8000
I have connected a UX16 cable and driver to my PC and to Yamaha PSR8000. The USB indicator and midi in and out indicators on the cable are lit, indicating signal is available. I want to use PC to play midi file stored on PC on the PSR. No longer viable using floppy disks. How do I get the PSR to play a midi file from the PC?
