Connection to a USB storage device
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data
you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.
Compatible USB storage devices
A USB storage device, such as a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash
memory reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the
USB [TO DEVICE]
terminal. Other
USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
CAUTION
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnect-
ing the cable too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or
hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Delete, Load and Format
operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection: until the “LOAD
TO USER” LED flash stops), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove the media from the
device, and do NOT turn the power off to either devices. Doing so may corrupt the data on either
or both devices.
Connection to a USB storage device
The CLP-370/340 has two
USB [TO DEVICE]
terminals; one on the left of the panel and
one on the terminal at the bottom.
Both are the same terminal; however, both cannot be used at the same time. Use the
[SELECT]
switch to select the desired terminal. Switching to “A” selects the terminal on
the left of the panel, while switching to “B” selects the terminal panel at the bottom.
When the device is mounting, the FILE “LOAD TO USER” indicator flashes. When the
mounting operation is completed, the indicator goes off.
CAUTION
While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Export, Load, Delete or Format opera-
tions) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection: until the FILE LOAD
LED flash stops), do NOT use the [SELECT] switch. Doing so may corrupt the media or data.
CAUTION
Disconnect the optional USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] A terminal before
closing the key cover. Closing the cover with the device still connected may damage the device.
Formatting USB storage media
When executing a file-related operation with a connected USB storage device, a “For”
message may appear, indicating that the device or media may be unformatted. If this
happens, format the media (page 40).
CAUTION
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Proceed with caution.
NOTE
CD-ROM drive
Although CD-R/RW drives can be
used to read data to the instru-
ment, they cannot be used for
saving data.
NOTE
Do not use a non-ID SmartMedia
card.
NOTE
Number of USB storage devices
Only one USB storage device can
be connected to the
USB [TO
DEVICE]
terminal. This instru-
ment can recognize only a single
drive in a USB storage device. If
one storage device contains more
than one drive, only one drive will
be automatically selected and
recognized.
NOTE
(CLP-370/340) If you connect
USB storage devices to both USB
[TO DEVICE] terminals, the
devices may not operate properly.
NOTE
Do not connect a USB hub to the
instrument.
NOTE
Remove the USB storage device
from the instrument before you
switch the A/B terminals.
NOTE
Though the instrument supports
the USB 1.1 standard, you can
connect and use a USB 2.0 stor-
age device with the instrument.
However, note that the transfer
speed is that of USB 1.1.
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage devices. Yamaha can-
not guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices,
please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Man-
ual) for advice, or visit the following web page:
