Anyone using SanDisk Connect drives with SX900/700 to share USER data over wifi?

The SanDisk Connect USB sticks act as a normal flash drive when plugged into a PC/Mac - or (one hopes) the USB drive socket on a PSR SX900.

But... at the same time shares the data written to it over Wi-Fi.

Delivering much much more than that Yamaha wi-fi dongle.

Anyone here tried one out?

It seems the easiest way to me to share MIDI and style data between a computer and the arranger.

Hi nonchai,

You can also use the PC (Windows) program "Yamaha MusicSoft Downloader" to exchange small files such as Styles or MIDI files between the keyboard and PC via USB cable. You can access the User drive of the keyboard as well as USB sticks connected to the keyboard from the PC.

Important: Since the file transfer with the "MusicSoft Downloader" takes place via the USB-MIDI protocol, the Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver must also be installed on the PC.

By the way, the "MusicSoft Downloader" is NOT available for MAC computers.


Best regards,
Chris

● Never put the Manual too far away: There's more in it than you think! ;-)

Yes sadly I'm a Mac only guy and it does come as disappointing that seems all the apps are for Windows.
Maybe I'll just get Parallels and a windows licence but I'd rather not get into that kind of mess.
