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.

Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this instrument, the amount of time for saving to or loading from
the USB device 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 for each terminal. Do not connect USB devices
having a rating above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument itself.
„ Connecting a USB device
When connecting a USB device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during playback/recording and file management operations (such as
Save, Copy, Delete, and Format), or when accessing the USB device. Failure to observe this may result in “freezing” of the
operation of the instrument or corruption of the USB device and the data.
• When connecting and then disconnecting the USB device (and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the
two operations.
• Use an AB type USB cable of less than 3 meters.

[USB TO HOST] terminal
Use this terminal to connect a computer via a USB cable, allowing you to transfer MIDI data and audio data between
the devices. Unlike MIDI, USB can handle multiple ports via a single cable. For information about how this instrument
handles Ports, refer to the Operation Manual.
NOTE
Audio data sending capability for the instrument is a maximum of 32 channels (16 stereo channels) at a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz or a maximum of 8 channels (4 stereo channels) for a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz.
Audio data receiving capability is a maximum of 6 channels (3 stereo channels).
Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] terminal
When connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, make sure to observe the following points to
avoid freezing the computer/instrument and corrupting or losing the data.
NOTICE
• Use an AB-type USB cable.
• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from
the [USB TO HOST] terminal.
- Quit any open application software on the computer.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted when the notes on the keyboard
are played or a Song is played back.)
• While the computer is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations:
(1) when turning the power of the instrument off and then on again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the
USB cable.
If the computer or the instrument freezes, restart the application software or the computer OS or turn the power
to the instrument off and then on again.
