Using a USB flash drive
By connecting a USB flash drive to the USB [TO DEVICE]
terminal on the rear panel, you can save the Live Set
Sounds as backup files or load settings back from the
backup files.
Precautions when using the USB [TO
DEVICE] terminal
When connecting a USB flash drive to the USB [TO
DEVICE] terminal, be sure to follow the important
precautions shown below.
NOTE
For more information on the handling of the USB flash drives, refer to
the Owner’s Manual of your USB flash drive.

Compatible USB devices
• USB flash drives only
Other USB devices such as a USB hub, computer
keyboard, or mouse cannot be used.
The instrument does not necessarily support all
commercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot
guarantee the operation of USB devices that you
purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use with
this instrument, please visit the following web page:
https://download.yamaha.com/
Although USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices can be used on the
CK, the amount of time for saving to or loading from
the USB flash drive may differ depending on the type
of data or the status of the instrument.
NOTICE
The rating of the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum of
5 V / 500 mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating
above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument
itself.

Connecting a USB flash drive
When connecting a USB flash drive to the USB [TO
DEVICE] terminal, make sure that it is connected in the
proper direction.
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during
file management operations (such as Save, Copy, Delete,
and Format), or when accessing the USB flash drive.
Failure to observe this may result in “freezing” of the
operation of the instrument or corruption of the USB flash
drive.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB flash drive
(and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between
the two operations.
• Do not use cables for connecting the USB flash drive.

Formatting the USB flash drive
Some USB flash drives should be formatted with this
instrument before they can be used (page 36). The USB
flash drives formatted on other instruments or devices
may not work properly.
NOTICE
The format operation erases any existing files. Make sure
that the USB flash drive you are formatting does not contain
any important files.

To protect your files (Write Protection)
To prevent important files from being inadvertently
erased, write-protect the USB flash drive. When you are
saving files to the USB flash drive, make sure you
disable the write-protection first.

Turning off the instrument
When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive by file
management (such as during Save, Copy, Delete and
Format operations). Failure to do so may corrupt the
USB flash drive and the files.
