8.2 Connecting the S-4 to a PC / Mac for Data Transfer
It is possible to connect and communicate with the S-4 from a PC/Mac
using the USB-C connection. This is useful for a variety of reasons but one
specic function is to transfer data to the S-4 as a remote storage device.
Transferring samples and rmware updates can be performed in this mode.
▌ CONNECTING A PC/MAC
1. Ensure the S-4 is powered off.
2. Connect a compatible USB cable between the PC / Mac and the S-4
USB-C connector. The cable will depend on the PC/Mac connections
i.e. Type C or A etc. Ensure this is a fully functional USB data
compatible cable and not designed only for use as a power cable.
3. Power ON the S-4 using the supplied PSU. This will need the dedicated
PSU connected as the USB port does not power the S-4 device.
8.3 S-4 as a Mass Storage Device
The S-4 can operate as a MSD or Mass Storage Device when connected to
a PC or Mac. This presents the S-4 similar to a remote hard drive
connected to the PC/Mac. This allows transfer of les by simply dragging
from the PC/Mac to the S-4 MSD.

projects are saved on the S-4.

to a Mass Storage Device. This means the S-4 will be presented on the
PC/Mac like a removable hard drive and named ‘S-4’. An error will be
displayed if a USB connection is not present or is not recognised.
7. Files can be copied from the PC/Mac to / from the S-4 MSD. For
