You can transmit and receive audio and MIDI data by connecting a USB cable from your mobile device (smartphone or tablet) to this unit. Please refer to "Connecting to an iOS device (USB Type-C® port)" or "Connecting an iOS device (Lightning connector)" in P-6 Owner's Manuals for details.
Important Note: Android devices are not guaranteed to work with this unit.
Please check the following points:
-
You don’t need to install a driver on your device to do this (the unit supports USB Audio Device Class 2.0 specs).
-
Data cannot be directly transmitted/received between this unit and your mobile device if you’re connecting through a USB hub.
-
The P-6 must be powered up in battery mode so that the USB connector is not charging the P-6 from the mobile device. This will ensure that the P-6 is being used as an audio/MIDI interface.
-
Use an Apple-manufactured USB adaptor (such as the Lightning-USB Camera Adapter, the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter) as a converter for the iOS device’s connector.
-
The included cable is capable of data transfer, some cables are meant for charging and cannot transmit data. If you replace the cable, please ensure that it is capable of data transfer.
-
Commercially available USB Type-C to Lightning conversion cables cannot be used.
