play back audio les (WAV, MP3, AIFF) that you’ve
copied from your computer to a USB ash drive,
or to record your keyboard performance to a USB
ash drive.

is on. Doing so may corrupt the unit’s data or the data on the
USB ash drive.
• Carefully insert the USB ash drive all the way in-until it is rmly
in place.
• Use USB ash drive available from Roland. Proper operation
cannot be guaranteed if other USB device is used.
