MG Series
Downloading and Installing Drivers
Download and install the "Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver", which is required for the MG-XU series console to be recognized by the computer.
NOTE
- For specific installation instructions, refer to the included installation guide.
- For Mac computers, it is not necessary to download and install a driver.
Proceed to the next step.
Connecting an MG-XU series console to a computer
1. After installing the driver, use a USB cable to connect the MG-XU series console to a computer. Do not use a USB hub; connect the USB cable directly to the console and computer.
2. Turn on the power to the MG-XU series console. If you connected and turned on the console before installing the driver, leave the console powered on and install the driver now.
Confirmation after installation
1. Open [Device Manager] as described below. Click [Control Panel] -> ([Hardware and Sound]) -> [Device Manager].
2. Click the + sign to the left side of [Sound, video and game controllers].
3. Confirm that the names of your devices appear in the list.
This completes installation of the driver.
