66 MM6/MM8 Owner’s Manual
Storing/Saving Data
In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB storage
devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.
A USB storage device is a large-volume memory medium used for storing data.
When a USB storage device is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal,
user songs created on the instruments and memorized settings can be saved to or
loaded from the device.
A USB storage device can also be used to transfer song data downloaded from the
Internet to the instrument.
If you don’t have a USB storage device, you will need to purchase one (or more, as
needed).
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage
devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you pur-
chase. Before purchasing a USB storage device, please consult your Yamaha dealer,
or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end the Owner’s Manual) for advice.
●To protect your data (write-protect switch)
Some USB storage devices are equipped with a write-protect switch.
To prevent accidental erasure of important data saved on a USB storage device, slide the write-protect
switch on the device to the “protect” position. When saving data, make sure that the write-protect
switch is set to the “overwrite” position.
