Use this page to select the storage device you wish to use. The currently selected device will be
read from or written to when you load, save, rename, or delete files in Storage mode. You can
load and save with a USB device (such as a thumb drive) by using the USB Storage port or with a
computer by using the USB Computer port on the rear of the PC3A (see Using USB Devices below

In the center of the page the currently selected storage device is highlighted. Use the cursor
buttons, -/+ buttons or the alpha wheel to select one of the two storage devices. (You can also select
the temporary USB drive (USB PC connection) by pressing the USBDrv soft button.) When the
temporary USB drive is selected, there will be a prompt telling you that the USB-MIDI
connection will be disconnected. You must acknowledge this prompt to continue.
The status of the selected device will be displayed as either ready or you will see a "No
connection" message. The top right-hand corner of the page displays the currently selected
storage device. If you are having trouble selecting a device that you have plugged in, try exiting
