Loading User Files And Pattern Files - Yamaha MM8 Owner's Manual

Loading User Files and Pattern Files

User and pattern files residing on a USB storage device can be loaded into the instrument.
CAUTION
• When a User file is loaded, user songs 001–005, the user patterns,
and the performance memory will all be overwritten. If you only
load a pattern file, only the user patterns will be overwritten. Save
important data to a USB storage device before loading data that
will overwrite it.
• Pattern files created on other Yamaha keyboards ("sty" file exten-
sion only) can be loaded into MM6/MM8 User Pattern No. 169. Pat-
tern files cannot be created using the MM6/MM8.
