Hi Graham,

In DGX-670 Owner's Manual, page 27, I found the following note:

"The maximum number of files/folders which can be saved in a folder is 500."

This applies when using a USB stick. (Each subfolder in a folder also counts as 1 file.)


The following restrictions apply when saving to the internal User drive:

"In the User tab, no more than three folder levels can be created. The maximum total number of files/folders which can be saved differs depending on the file size and the length of the file/folder names."


Best regards,
Chris

I believe that also includes subfolders (oh wait, Chris already said that!); so make sure your current folder doesn't exceed 500 files and subfolders *combined*.

They already upped it, Yamaha previously used a single byte header (CVP209/PSR2000) era, so if your number of files and subfolders in a directory exceeded 255, you'd render that folder unreadable on the instrument. Fine if it was on a usb/external floppy, but if you did that to user drive, you were out of luck unless your kb had a PC mode (with midis you could as least use the Musicsoft downloader)

In other words, *don't* even try to get close to 500 per folder *unless* it's on an external device, which you can always fix on a pc
