Hello!

I am having a problem with my USB memory.

I recently bought a Kingston memory and saved some voices and files on it , it worked perfectly fine. However I tried loading some files today and it seems that my Motif cant read or even recongize the usb pendrive.
It also displays ERROR MESSAGE Usb connection terminated.
Afterwards I tried using my usb pendrive on my pc and it works just fine.
So I wonder what might be the solution . Any ideas ?

USB ports are designed to deliver a certain maximum current. If a device draws more than that amount, the circuit is supposed to sense that and shut down the supply to the port. That causes an error message to be generated.

From page 287 of the XS Owner’s Manual:
USB connection terminated. Press any button.
A break in the connection with the USB storage device has occurred because of an abnormal electric current. Disconnect the USB storage device from the USB TO DEVICE connector, then press any of the panel buttons.

Either the USB drive you’re using is defective or out of spec (even if it works in your computer), or the TO DEVICE port in the XS is damaged.

I would suggest trying another USB drive, if possible one from the Compatible USB Device List for MOTIF XS/XF (http://download.yamaha.com/file/68404). If that causes the same message to be displayed, the USB port likely has failed.

OK I ve tried another USB drive from yamaha list and It does not recognize it. It must be the port then. Thanks.

One more thought - if you’re using a USB hub or extension cable, try connecting the USB drive directly to the port.

I tried only with the drive, with two differents drives.
So at this point I might try to fix the port or change the usb panel board.

I will contact an engineer because yamaha does not have an official product service in Argentina.
