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 storage
memory from a personal computer, by just connecting the Pa600
to the computer's USB interface. This way, you can exchange files
between the user-accessible area of the internal storage memory
of the Pa600 (DISK device) and a personal computer.
Note: The drivers supplied in the Accessory Disk are only for MIDI
Over USB connection.
Note: While USB file transfer is enabled, you cannot access other
functions on the Pa600. MIDI Over USB is also disabled.
Warning: It is not possibile to change the label (name) of the inter-
nal disk when Pa600 is connected to a PC through the USB port. If
you try to do it, the original name is restored by Pa600.
HD Connection
Usually, the USB Device port is not enabled for file transfer on
the Pa600 (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.
Connect Pa600 to a personal computer by using a standard
1.
USB cable
2.
Touch the "Enable" button to enable file transfer. Pa600
becomes the B USB device (called Device or Slave), while
the personal computer becomes the A USB device (called
the Host or Master).
When finished, the icon of the internal memory of Pa600
will appear among the other storage devices connected to
the computer.
Caveat: Do not modify the structure of the ".SET" folders, or
you will no longer be able to use them on the Pa600. Only use
the USB connection for data exchange purpose, or to modify
ordinary folders.
Note: After starting the USB connection, accessing Pa600
data from the computer may take some time, depending on
the size of the hard drive and the data contained in the hard
drive.
When all data has been transferred, disconnect USB com-
3.
munication from the computer. On a PC, you usually select
the dedicated command by clicking on the USB device icon
with the right mouse button. On the Mac, select the USB
device icon, then select the Eject command or drag it to the
eject icon in the Dock.
When the Pa600 icon disappears from the computer's desk-
4.
top, touch the "Disable" button on the display of Pa600.
Caveat: Do not disconnect the USB communication before
the personal computer has really finished transferring files.
Sometimes, the on-screen indicator tells the procedure has
been completed BEFORE it has really finished.
Disconnecting USB communication (or disconnecting the
USB cable) before data transfer has been completed may
cause data loss.
