Accessing Samples from an External USB Drive

---

The S-4 can be connected with an external USB Drive to access samples. The drive will be visible in the sample browser and will allow samples to be loaded to the relevant device. Samples cannot be copied from the flash drive to the S-4.

1. Connect a USB Drive directly to the USB-C Connection.

2. Tap [LOAD] in DISC, TAPE or POLY to access the Sample Browser.

3. USB DRIVE will appear in the browser along with the User and Factory Sample folders.

We recommend using a fast USB drive and 48kHz 16-bit samples for best performance.

It is not recommended to use an external USB drive via a hub.

Formatting the External USB Drive

The drive must be formatted to FAT32 in order for it to be used with the S-4. This can be done using various disk utility tools on a computer or directly on the S-4.

1. Connect the external USB drive to the S-4.

2. Tap [CONFIG] to open the configuration page of the S-4.

3. Navigate to the SYSTEM menu.

4. Select the FORMAT EXTERNAL USB DRIVE option.

Formatting the external USB drive will remove all data stored on the drive.

Ejecting the External USB Drive

1. Navigate to highlight USB DRIVE.

2. Tap [CLEAR] to eject.

3. The drive can now be physically disconnected from the S-4.
