 When Storage Mode (Function 056; page 55)
is set to on.
• File transfer (Song, Style, Backup)
 When Storage Mode is set to off.
• Performance data communication by MIDI
• Audio data communication by USB
Simply by connecting the instrument and a computer
via a USB cable, the instrument is recognized by the
computer. However, a dedicated driver must be
installed for audio data communication. For details,
refer to "Smart Device Connection Manual" on the
website (page 8).
NOTE
• The volume for USB audio communication data cannot be
adjusted with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.
• While Storage Mode is set to on, you cannot play the instru-
ment. Set Storage Mode to on, only when transmitting/receiv-
ing files to/from a computer.
• While Storage Mode is set to off, not only your keyboard per-
formance data but also automatic performance data (Style
and User Song) are transmitted to the computer via MIDI.
• If you are using with a music production application, such as
a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), set "Loopback" (Function
042; page 54) to off. If this is instead set to on, a mix of the
audio data and the sound of the instrument is sent to DAW,
which may cause howling and unexpected loud sounds.
