The location of the directories (folders) and files currently
indicated at the “Dir” line on the display is referred to as a
“path.” This indicates the current directory, what device it
belongs to, and in which folder(s) it is contained. “Directory
C” illustrated above is described as path “USB_HDD/A/C.”
Refers to the operation so that an external memory device
becomes active for the instrument. The USB storage
device is automatically mounted as soon as connected to
the USB TO DEVICE connector on the rear panel of the
MOTIF XS. The hard disk drive of the computer connected
to the MOTIF XS via the network can be mounted in the
Mount display (page 277).
The operation of initializing a storage device (such as a
hard disk) is referred to as “format.” The File mode of the
MOTIF XS allows you to format the USB memory storage
device connected to the USB TO DEVICE connector. The
format operation erases all data from the target memory
device and is irreversible.
“Save” means that the data created on the MOTIF XS is
saved to the external memory device as a file, while “Store”
means that the data created on the MOTIF XS is stored to
internal memory. “Load” means that the file on the external
memory device is loaded to internal memory.
