USB storage devices

Connection Examples
USB flash memory or
MOTIF XF
Compatible USB devices
Connect only a USB storage device (such as hard disk, CD-
ROM, flash memory and other drives) to the USB TO DEVICE
connector. Other USB devices such as a mouse cannot be
used. Both bus-powered (powered by the host device) or
self-powered (battery or external power supply) types can
be used. 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,
or see the following web page:

NOTE
Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to load data to the
instrument, they cannot be used for saving data. However, you
can transfer the data to a computer and save it to a CD using the
CD-R/RW drive on the computer.
Formatting USB storage media
When an unformatted USB storage device is connected to
the USB TO DEVICE connector, the indication "unknown
device (usb***)" is shown in the device list on the [F3]
Format window of the File mode. If this happens, execute the
Format operation in the Format display. For information
about the Format operation, refer to the Reference Manual.
NOTE
The three asterisks (***) in the example indication above denote
the sequential serial numbers of the connected devices which
need to be formatted. When several partitions are included in a
single device, the partition number is indicated at the right of the
serial number.
Notices when using the USB TO DEVICE
terminal
Please keep in mind the following points:
Never turn the USB device's power on/off and never plug/
unplug the USB cable when the connected USB storage
device is the self-powered type. Doing so may result in the
operation of the synthesizer "freezing" or hanging up.
While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the
Save, Load and Delete operations in the File mode), do
NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove the media
from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either
device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both
devices.
