Roland V-Synth Connecting to Your Computer via USB USB Mode, Switching the Connected Drive

Connecting to Your Computer via USB (USB Mode)

8.Touch <Internal> or <PC Card> to establish the connection with your computer.

<Internal>: Mounts the internal memory as an external drive on your computer.

<PC Card>: Mounts the PC card as an external drive on your computer.

You cannot select “PC Card” unless a PC card is inserted in the PC CARD slot.

9.When the USB connection is established, the driver installation will begin. A dialog box of “Found new hardware” will appear near the Windows task tray.

Installation is completely automatic. Please wait for it to be completed.

10.When installation is completed, open My Computer and you

will see a new drive icon.

In Windows Me/2000/98/98SE, a drive icon named “Removable Disk” will appear. In Windows XP, the drive icon will be named “V-SYNTH” if you selected “Internal.” If you selected “PC Card,” it will show the volume label that you assigned when formatting the card. If you formatted the card on the V-Synth, the volume label will be “PC CARD.”

11.Once the V-Synth is connected, you can transfer files by

operating your computer.

Do not perform the following actions while “Access” (the access indicator) in the USB Storage screen is blinking. Doing so may cause your computer to freeze, and may also damage the files in the drive.

•Do not disconnect the USB cable

•Do not remove the PC card while it is being accessed

•Do not suspend (standby), hibernate, restart, or shut down your computer

•Do not turn off the power of V-Synth.
