Using USB Flash Memory

USB flash memory is a memory medium used for storing data.

When a USB flash memory is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal, user songs created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or loaded from the memory medium. USB flash memory can also be used to transfer song data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument, where it can be used with the performance assistant technology (page 35) and Lesson (page 47) features described in the Quick Guide. Furthermore, user songs saved to USB flash memory in MIDI file format can also be used with these features.

In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB flash memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.

If you don’t have a USB flash memory, 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 purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.

USB Flash Memory

Before using a USB device, read through the “Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal” section on page 99. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see “Connection to a USB Storage Device” on page 97.

To protect your data (write-protect switch)

Some USB flash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To prevent accidental erasure of important data saved in USB flash memory, 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.
