By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you can save data you’ve created to the device, as well as read
data from it. Use the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal to connect a USB storage device.

Connecting a USB Storage Device

Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal

This instrument features two built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminals. When connecting a USB device to the terminal,
be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.

●

Compatible USB devices

• USB storage devices (flash memory, floppy disk drive,

hard disk drive, etc.)

• USB-LAN adaptor
• USB hub
The instrument does not necessarily support all com-
mercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guar-
antee operation of USB devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing a USB device for use with this instru-
ment, please visit the following web page:

●

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.

• If you intend to connect two or three devices at the

same time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub
device. The USB hub must be self-powered (with its
own power source) and the power must be on. Only
one USB hub can be used. If an error message
appears while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub
from the instrument, then turn on the power of the
instrument and re-connect the USB hub.

●

Using USB Storage Devices

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device,
you can save data you’ve created to the connected
device, as well as read data from the connected device.

●

Number of USB storage devices that can be
used

Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB
hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be
used simultaneously with musical instruments even
when a USB hub is used is a maximum of two.)

●

Formatting USB storage media

When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to for-
mat the device/media. If so, execute the Format opera-
tion (page 95).

●

Protecting your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each stor-
age device or media. If you are saving data to the USB
storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.

●

Connecting/removing a USB storage device

Before removing the media from the device, make sure
that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the
Save, Copy and Delete operations).

For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.

NOTE

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.

NOTE

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they
cannot be used for saving data.

NOTE

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the device 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, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is
mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection),
do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media
from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device.
Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
