Using USB Devices
YoucanplugaUSBmassstoragedevicesuchasa“thumbdrive”intothePC3Kforbackingup,
archiving,sharingyourwork,andupdatingyoursoftware.AnysizeUSBmassstoragedevice
willwork,thoughthumbdrivesarerecommendedfortheirportability,durability,andlow
price.ThereisaUSB
StorageportonthebackpanelofthePC3K,butitiseasilyaccessiblefrom
thefrontoftheinstrument(seebelow.)
Caution:AUSBconnectorwillonlyfitintotheportiforientedproperly,sodon’tforceitintothe
port,asthismaydamageyourPC3KorUSB
device.Ifyouarehavingtroubleinsertingyour
USBconnectorintotheport,tryflippingtheconnectorover.

Fortransferringaudiosamplefiles,usetheUSBStoragePortwithaUSBmassstoragedevice
suchasa“thumbdrive.”WhenusingtheUSBStoragePorttotransferfiles,thefilesizethatcan
