USB Flash Drive Operations

By connecting a USB flash drive (sold separately) to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you
can save the data created on this instrument, such as User Song and parameter set-
tings. The saved data can be recalled to this instrument again for future use.
IMPORTANT
• You should use an AC adaptor when executing USB flash drive operations, since battery power may not be reliable enough to
last through these crucial operations. When you try executing certain functions, the "UseAdpt" indication may appear and the
selected function cannot be executed.

Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this

data or the status of the instrument.
NOTICE
• The rating of the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal is a maxi-
mum of 5V/500mA. Do not connect USB devices hav-
ing 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 oper-
ations (such as Save, 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 then disconnecting the USB device
(and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds
between the two operations.
• Do not use an extension cable when connecting a
USB device.
Using a USB Flash Drive
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you
can save data you've created to the connected device,
as well as read data from the connected device.
 Number of USB flash drives that can be
used
Only one USB flash drive can be connected to the [USB
TO DEVICE] terminal.
 Formatting a USB flash drive
You should format the USB flash drive only with this
instrument (page 73). A USB flash drive formatted on
another device may not operate properly.
NOTICE
• The format operation overwrites any previously exist-
ing data. Make sure that the USB flash drive you are
formatting does not contain important data. Proceed
with caution, especially when connecting multiple
USB flash drive.
 To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB
flash drive. If you are saving data to the USB flash drive,
make sure to disable write-protect.

When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive by
playback/recording or file management (such as during
Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to do
so may corrupt the USB flash drive and the data.
