Connecting to Your Computer via USB (USB Mode)

The USB function used with the RD-700SX features two modes, a

Storage mode

used for transferring files, and a

MIDI mode

used for
MIDI transmissions. Use of these modes requires that the settings be
switched with the RD-700SX, and the two modes cannot be used
simultaneously.

Any switching of the USB mode (Storage mode/MIDI mode)
must be performed before the RD-700SX and computer are
connected.
The following shows the compatibility between operating systems
and modes.

* The functions may not work correctly with some computers.

Any switching of the USB mode (Storage mode/MIDI mode)
