The computer midi connection is made thru the usb midisport 2x2 in conjunction with the (OMB)OneManBand software. You can use the demo program for this thru the midi setup.The demo program will not fully operate for more than 30 seconds at a time and this is not a problem because you dont have to run the complete program itself. All you have to do is set up the midi in and midi out. The 30 seconds does not interfere with this setup procedure. You can down load this demo program at the One Man Band Website for free.
Click on settings then highlight the Midi in and check the Yamaha usb in 0-1 along with in-a usb Midisport 2X2.
Then click midi out and set channel 1 to out-a usb midisport 2X2
You must also set your yamaha psr-2000 receive channel #1 to "keyboard" which must be done each time you power up your keyboard. You will need some basic understanding of your keyboard funtions to do this.This is a very simple process once you learn it.
YOU CAN NOW USE YOUR 76 NOTE KEYBOARD AS A CONTROLLER FOR YOUR psr-2000 etc.

Merry Christmas

Hi RGT,
I actually tried to do something similar, with my Clavinova & DGX. Both of mine had USB, but everytime I tried to run usb1 & 2 thru omb, it would crash. I think in the end I used the serial port ( with cbx driver) on the Clavinova & the USB port on the dgx.
Can't remember if I was actually able to control the dgx from the clav or vice versa as my main purpose was to use either keyboard with OMB.

That's great that you actually managed to get it to work. It's a real drawback on the DGX305/505 not having midi ports. At least you've managed to find a way around it.

best wishes
