Precautions when using the [USB
TO DEVICE] terminal
This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE]
terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be
sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the
important precautions below.
NOTE
For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the
owner's manual of the USB device.
Compatible USB devices
• USB flash drive (*1)
• USB class compliant MIDI devices (*2)
• Yamaha MIDI devices whose compatibility has been
confirmed (*2)
Other USB devices such as a USB hub, computer keyboard
or mouse cannot be used.
Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this
instrument, the amount of time for saving to or loading from
the USB device may differ depending on the type of data or
the status of the instrument.
*1) The instrument does not necessarily support all
commercially available USB flash drives. Also, Yamaha
cannot guarantee operation of USB flash drives that you
purchase. Before purchasing a USB flash drive for use with
this instrument, confirm the compatibility of the device with
compatible device list on the following web page:
https://download.yamaha.com/
After accessing the Support website and clicking on
“Documents and Data,” enter the model name of the
instrument and click “Search.”
*2) For details on the MIDI devices that can be used and related
settings and how the devices work when connected, refer to
the “Connecting External MIDI Instruments” (page 54).
NOTICE
The rating of the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum of 5V/
500mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating above this,
since this can cause damage to the instrument itself.
Connecting a USB device
When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE]
terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during
playback/recording and file management operations (such as
Save, Copy, Delete and Format), or when accessing the USB
device. Failure to observe this may result in “freezing” of the
operation of the instrument or corruption of the USB device
and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and
vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two
operations.
Using USB flash drives
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you can
save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well
as read data from the connected device.
Maximum number of USB flash drives that
can be used
Only one USB flash drive can be connected to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal.
Formatting USB flash drive
You should format the USB flash drive only with this
instrument (page 61). A USB flash drive formatted on
another device may not operate properly.
NOTICE
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.
Make sure that the USB flash drive you are formatting does not
contain important data.
NOTE
For details on how to format the USB flash drive, see the Reference
Manual PDF document.
To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,
apply the write-protect provided with each USB flash drive. If
you are saving data to the USB flash drive, make sure to
disable write-protect.
Turning off the instrument
When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive by
playback/recording or file management (such as during
Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to do so
may corrupt the USB flash drive and the data.
