How do I connect a USB-C or Thunderbolt device to my piano's USB MIDI port?

Use a USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect your device to the piano's standard USB port.

To connect a USB-C or Thunderbolt device (such as a modern MacBook or iPad Pro) to your piano's USB to Host port, use a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Connect the adapter to your device and use a standard USB-A cable to connect to the piano.

Some devices may require a powered USB hub for reliable operation. Once connected, install any necessary drivers as described in the USB-MIDI driver FAQ, then test the connection in your chosen MIDI application.
