Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal)

Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB ter- minal of a computer, and you can transfer performance data and song ﬁles between the two (page 99). To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do the fol- lowing:

•First, make sure the POWER switch on the instru- ment is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to con- nect the instrument to the computer. After making the connections, turn the instrument’s power on.

•Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on page 107.

Turning the Power On

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOL- UME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch again to turn the power OFF.

Backup data in the ﬂash memory is loaded to the instru- ment when the power is turned on. If no backup data exists on ﬂash memory, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is turned on.

CAUTION

•Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

CAUTION

•Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the ﬂash memory and result in a loss of data.
