Util7-1 Save File Page - Yamaha DTX-MULTI Owner's Manual

Directory
A hierarchical directory system is used on memory devices in
order to group files together according to type or application. In
this regard, a "directory" is equivalent to a folder as used on a
computer. As with files, you can assign names to individual direc-
tories. File operations are carried out inside a set of special direc-
tories that are created as follows within a USB memory device
when it is formatted for use on the Format page (UTIL7-5).
Please note that the DTX-MULTI 12 does not display this direc-
tory structure on-screen.

Format
The operation of initializing a USB memory device is referred to
as "formatting". Whenever you format a USB memory device
using this instrument, any previously created files and directories
(or folders) will be erased and the special directories shown above
will be created.
Save and Load
The term "save" refers to the writing of data created on the DTX-
MULTI 12 to a USB memory device for storage, while "load"
refers to the reading of files from the memory device into the
instrument's internal memory. From the Save File page, you can
save files on a USB memory device as follows.
