Hey! I know this is a question that has been asked and answered many times but if anyone has the list or can point me to it I’d greatly appreciate it. I’ve spent 2 hours trying to find a list of compatible USB flash drives for my MOTIF XS on this forum, google, and the yamaha website and now I’m resorting to a post. Note that the yamaha support page for XS7 has a broken link on this - there is a FAQ on MOTIF XS - http://www.yamahasynth.com/support/faq/answer/?selFaqId=36&selCatId=3&selModId=341&sKeyword=usb
“A1-24: Check the URL below for USB devices that have been tested for proper operation with the MOTIF XS.
When I click the link it simply takes me back to the support home page again. So please don’t send me to the yamaha support page, if anyone has the contents of this link or another link please let me know, thanks!!! I would even buy the flash drive on the motifator store to avoid this question but the one listed is for ES and MO - XS conspicuously missing… -chris |

I just got a 4GB USB drive from registering with Yamaha, and I had some files on there, but one of the midi file when I try to loaded, it was hung. Now, my usb drive is not recognized by the motif xs or my computer. What should I do now ? |

If this is caused by removing the stick while writing on it ....
But let’s not expect the worst.

I don’t care about the data, because it’s fairly new and I did not have much on the drive. But I cannot even format it or do anything… |

If you can not access a USB stick from your computer (e.g. XP)
1) it’s formatted for LINUX/UNIX/MAC: you should format it on a MAC
Until now I could use ANY USB stick on my synthesizers, except:

As stated in my last post: FAT32 won’t work.
2Gb sticks that come formatted FAT16

We have had identical sku memory sticks where the manufacturer changed the spec so they no longer work on a Motif. The ONLY way to buy USB devices that are guaranteed to work is on Motifator.com, where we test each batch: http://shop.motifator.com/index.php/2-gb-flash-drive.html We even load Voice data on them if you like!
Thanks,

stevecz, >>> I only wish this info had been more readily available on this site.
If you had searched the forum you would have found so many earlier
