will appear. If you selected "PC Card," it will show the volume
label that you assigned when formatting the card. If you

cause your computer to freeze, and may also damage the files in
the drive.

• Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed
• Do not sleep, restart, or shut down your computer
• Do not turn off the power of V-Synth.
Switching the Connected Drive

V-Synth's internal memory) and "PC Card" (the memory card
inserted in the V-Synth).
1. In the V-Synth's USB Storage screen, make sure that
"Access" (the access indicator) is not blinking.
2. Select the V-Synth drive icon on your desktop, and either
choose "Eject" from the "Special" menu, or drag the icon
into the trash.
3. In the V-Synth's USB Storage screen, touch <Internal> or
<PC Card> to change drives.
