Introduction to NAUTILUS
Connecting a foot pedal
You can use a connected foot pedal to control volume,
modulation, or other functions.
1. Connect an optional XVP-20 or EXP-2 etc. to the
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jacks.
2. After turning the power on, use GLOBAL >
Controllers/Scales– Controller "Foot Pedal Assign" to
assign the function controlled by the foot pedal.
For more information, see "Foot Pedal Assign" on page 675
of the PG.
4. Connecting USB devices
The NAUTILUS supports high-speed USB 2.0 for
connecting to storage devices, such as hard drives, flash
media, and CD-R/RW drives, as well as class-compliant
USB MIDI controllers.
USB storage devices
You can save and load samples, sounds, sequences, and other
data to and from USB 2.0 storage devices for backup,
transferring to computers, etc.
Note that HDR tracks must be played from and recorded
onto the internal disk. You can back them up to USB
devices, however.
The maximum supported capacity depends upon the format
of the USB device. With FAT16 format, the maximum
capacity is 4 GB; with FAT32, the maximum is 2 TB
(2,000 GB).
1. Use a USB cable to connect your USB storage device
to one of the NAUTILUS's USB A ports.
Standard USB cables have a different connector at each
end. Plug the flat, rectangular connector into the
NAUTILUS, and plug the square-ish connector into the
external USB storage device.
Note: If the device you are using does not support hot-
plugging, make connections with the device powered-off,
and then turn on the power of your device.
2. Wait a few seconds for the device to be recognized.
3. Use the MEDIA mode Drive Select screen to check the
connection.
For more information, see "Loading & saving data" on
page 203.

USB MIDI controllers
You can connect class-compliant USB MIDI controllers
directly to the NAUTILUS, and use them just as you would
controllers connected to the 5-pin MIDI jacks. To do so:
1. Use a USB cable to connect your USB MIDI controller
to one of the NAUTILUS's USB A ports.
If the controller is set to a different MIDI channel than the
NAUTILUS's Global MIDI Channel, you can use it to
play a different sound than the local keyboard in
Combinations or Songs, as controlled by the Timbre or
Track MIDI settings.
USB alphanumeric keyboards
Anywhere that you can enter text, you can use a connected
USB alphanumeric keyboard as an alternative to the touch-
screen keyboard. The standard US "IBM PC" QWERTY
keyboard layout is recommended.
Hot-plugging
The NAUTILUS supports USB hot-plugging. This means
that you can connect or disconnect the USB cable while the
power is on.
Note: In order to use hot-plugging, the USB device you are
connecting must also support hot-plugging.
8 USB devices maximum
NAUTILUS has USB 2.0 ports, and can support up to 8
USB devices simultaneously. Note that it doesn't matter how
the devices are connected; even if you use hubs or different
ports, the maximum is always 8 devices.
USB Power
Some USB devices get their power from the USB
connection. These are called "bus-powered" devices, and
they are supported by the NAUTILUS.
Other USB devices may require a separate power source, in
addition to the USB connection; in this case, you'll need to
use an appropriate power adaptor for the device.
There is a limitation to the total current supplied to all
connected USB devices, as defined by the USB
specification. If the total current consumption of the
connected devices exceeds this limit, the NAUTILUS may
not correctly recognize the connected USB devices. If this
happens, the error message "USB Hub Power Exceeded!"
will appear.
To avoid this problem, if you connect more than one USB
device, please use a self-powered USB hub in self-powered
mode. For details on connections and settings for your hub,
please refer to its documentation.
For details on the electrical current used by a specific USB
device, refer to its owner's manual.
