Connecting A Usb Storage Device - Yamaha Tyros4 Owner's Manual

Connecting a USB Storage Device

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you can save data you've created to the device, as well as read
data from it. Use the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal to connect a USB storage device.
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 storage devices (flash memory, etc.)
• USB hub
• USB-LAN adaptor
The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-
cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee
operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before pur-
chasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please
visit the following web page:

NOTE
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
 Connecting 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.
• If you intend to connect two or three devices at the
same time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub
device. The USB hub must be self-powered (with its
own power source) and the power must be on. Only one
USB hub can be used. If an error message appears
while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the
instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument
and re-connect the USB hub.
 Using USB Storage Devices
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device,
you can save data you've created to the connected device,
as well as read data from the connected device.

 The number of USB storage device to be used
Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB
hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be used
simultaneously with musical instruments even when a
USB hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument
can recognize up to four drives in one USB storage
device.
 Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation
(page 101).
NOTICE
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.
Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain
important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connect-
ing multiple USB storage media.
 To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect function provided with
some storage devices and media. If you are saving data to
the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-pro-
tect.
 Connecting/removing USB storage device
Before removing the media from the device, make sure
that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the
Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations).
NOTICE
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing
so may result in the operation of the instrument "freezing" or
hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as dur-
ing Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mount-
ing the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT
unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the
device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so
may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
