Usb - Korg pa2X pro User Manual

USB

Use this page to enable or disable the USB Device port for file
transfer.
The USB Device port allows you to access the internal SSD-U
and the internal hard disk from a personal computer (PC or
Mac), by just connecting the Pa2X to the computer's USB inter-
face. This way, you can exchange files between the Pa2X and a
personal computer.
Note: Windows 2000, XP and Vista, as well as Mac OS X, can be
directly connected to the Pa2X. No additional driver must be
installed on your PC or Mac (the drivers supplied in the Accessory
CD are only for MIDI Over USB connection).
Note: While USB file transfer is enabled, you cannot access other
functions on the Pa2X. MIDI Over USB is also disabled.
HD and SSD-U Connection
Normally, the USB Device port is not enabled for file transfer on
the Pa2X (it is always on, however, for MIDI connection). Touch
the Enable button to turn it on, or the Disable button (with all
the caveats) to turn it off.
Enable After connecting Pa2X to a personal computer by
using a standard USB cable, touch this button to
enable file transfer. In this case, Pa2X is the B USB
device (called Device or Slave), while the personal
computer is the A USB device (called Host or
Master).
Media edit mode
The MEDIA LED will start blinking, while the
personal computer reads the internal SSD-U
memory and the internal hard disk of the Pa2X.
When finished (this may take some minutes,
depending on the hard disk size), the icons of the
SSD-U and the hard disk will appear among the
other storage devices connected to the computer:
SSD-U
Windows
Macintosh
Caveat: Do not modify ".SET" folders, or you will
no longer be able to use them on the Pa2X. Only use
the USB connection for data exchange purpose, or
to modify ordinary folders.
Note: After starting the USB connection, accessing
Pa2X data from the computer may take some time,
depending on the size of the hard disk and the data
contained in the SSD-U or hard disk.
Disable Touch this button to disconnect the USB file
transfer. Be careful to touch it only when you are
absolutely sure data transfer has been completed.
Note: USB connection is also automatically discon-
nected when disconnecting the USB communica-
tion on the personal computer side.
To disconnect USB communication on a PC, you
usually select the dedicated command by clicking
on the USB device icon with the right mouse but-
ton. On the Mac, select the USB device icon, then
select the Eject command or drag it to the eject
icon in the Dock.
Hint: We suggest to disconnect USB connection
from the personal computer, instead of touching
this button on the Pa2X.
Caveat: Do not disconnect USB communication
before the personal computer has really finished
transferring files. Sometimes, the on-screen indica-
tor tells the procedure has been completed,
BEFORE it is actually finished.
Disconnecting USB communication (or discon-
necting the USB cable) before data transfer has
been completed may cause loss of data.
