S90 XS/S70 XS
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
computer keyboard or 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 or when unformatted
media is inserted to the USB device connected to the
USB TO DEVICE connector, the indication "unformatted
device (usb***)" is shown in the device list on the Save/
Load display of the File mode. If this happens, execute
the Format operation in the File Job display.
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.
Precautions when using the USB TO
DEVICE terminal
Please keep in mind the following points:
CAUTION
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.
