power off. Doing so can result in a loss of data.

Data format
This instrument can play back SMF Format 0 (Standard MIDI file) and DOC
(Disk Orchestra Collection) song data.
When copying song data from computer to USB flash memory, make sure to
save it by using SMF Format 0.
Keep in mind that songs recorded on other devices may use a variety of voices
not available on this instrument and hence may sound different than the origi-
nal songs. In general, this instrument should be used to play back piano songs.
When loading of the data is complete,
the LED will light continuously.
USB Flash Memory
Certain songs may take more
time than others to start playback.
Keep in mind that this also affects
the time between playback of
successively played songs.
NOTE
If you don’t have a USB flash memory, you will need to purchase one (or more, as needed).
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage devices.
Yamaha cannot 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 Manual) for advice.
TERMINOLOGY
What is SMF (Standard MIDI
File)?
The SMF (Standard MIDI File) for-
mat is one of the most common
and widely compatible sequence
formats used for storing
sequence data. There are two
variations: Format 0 and Format
1. A large number of MIDI
devices are compatible with SMF
Format 0, and most commercially
available MIDI sequence data is
provided in SMF Format 0.
