Press the [SF1] EXEC button to load the file.
NOTICE
The Load operation overwrites any data previously existing in the
specified destination internal memory. Important data should always
be saved to a USB flash memory device connected to the USB [TO
DEVICE] terminal.
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
Only USB memory devices of the flash-memory variety can
be used with the MOXF6/MOXF8. Furthermore, the
instrument does not necessarily support all commercially
available USB flash memory devices, nor can Yamaha
guarantee operation such USB devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing a USB flash memory device for use with
this instrument, please visit the following web page:

Connecting a USB flash memory device
When connecting a USB flash memory device to the USB
[TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the
memory is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper
direction.
NOTE
Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can
connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument.
However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.
Formatting a USB flash memory device
When a USB flash memory device is connected, a message
may appear prompting you to format the memory. If so,
execute the Format operation (see the "Reference Manual"
PDF document).
NOTICE
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make
sure that the device you are formatting does not contain important
data.
To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,
apply the write-protect provided on the USB flash memory
device. If you are saving data to the device, make sure to
disable write-protect.
Connecting/removing the USB flash memory device
Before removing the memory from the instrument, make sure
that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the
Save, Copy and Delete operations).
NOTICE
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB flash memory
device, or connecting/disconnecting the memory too often. Doing so
may result in the operation of the instrument "freezing" or hanging
up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save,
Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB
flash memory device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug
the USB connector, do NOT remove the device from the instrument,
and do NOT turn the power off to either the instrument or the USB
flash memory device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or
both.
