What to do if Yamaha PSR-S970 Synthesizer says USB flash drive unavailable?
If a message indicating that the USB flash drive is unavailable appears and the recording is aborted on your Yamaha Synthesizer: * Ensure you are using a compatible USB flash drive. * Check if the USB flash drive has enough memory by reviewing the recordable time on the display. * If the USB flash drive contains previously recorded data, format it after ensuring no important data remains, and then try recording again.
Why tempo is not displayed correctly on Yamaha Synthesizer?
If the tempo, beat, measure, and music notation aren't displayed correctly on your Yamaha Synthesizer, it's likely due to the Song data being recorded with special “free tempo” settings. In such cases, these elements won't be displayed accurately.
