Using USB Memory
By connecting a USB memory (sold separately), you can back up all of the OCTAPAD’s settings (or even just an
individual kit) to USB memory.
Don’t hit the pads when you’re in the USB screen!
If you hit the pads while USB memory is being read or written, the vibration may cause errors to occur. For this reason, the
pads are disabled and will not produce sound while you’re in the USB screen.
Use USB memory sold by Roland!
We cannot guarantee operation if other products are used.
Don’t disconnect USB memory while the OCTAPAD is powered-on!
Doing so may damage the USB memory or the data.
Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in—until it is rmly in place!
Don’t connect any device other than USB memory to the USB MEMORY connector!
