I posted on Yamaha forum. Need a brand/model usb thumbdrive that is absolutely compatible with T2, and need to know if i have to format it first. What I am using doesn't produce a response from the keyboard. I've read some brands don't play well with Yamaha.

Sparky, I have never encountered a USB storage device that does not work on the T2 or S-950. However, when the T2 first became available, there were limitations to the size of the drives it could handle. They quickly released an OS software update that takes care of that problem. It's available at the Yamaha site in the download section.

I always used a Sandisc Usb drive....& remember there is a limit on file size too..
I think it was 499 per file in a folder or it wouldnt read it?

tony yes 64 & 32 worked fine if I recall....only thing if your USB receptacle is recessed it becomes a bit difficult to remove with two fingers.....

I have a T2 and have used a number of 'no-name' thumb drives in it and never once had a problem. However, I don't think any of them were over 16gb or had a large number of files on them, so if that's what is causing the problem, my experiences wouldn't apply. In other words, it probably has nothing to do with actual drive compatibility.

Yes, the USB slot on the KORG Pa900 is recessed, but I'm looking for one to keep in the KB ... I should only have to remove it when I'm working on things at home ...
