USB stick doesn't show up

I just got my brand new PA900. I inserted an fresh formatted USB stick with some midi files in the front but when I touch song on the touchscreen the USB disk doesn't show up, just the internal disk. Any thoughts ? I tried another stick, the same.

Try looking at the bottom left of the screen. You can touch where it says "drive" and it should show a choice to select USB, else touch "drive" and use the dial to show USB and your files should appear

Yes I know were the USB is suppose to show up but it doesn't, just the internal disk, no other option in the dropdown list. When I insert the stick, however, it shows a message that a usb device is recognized....I also can format it.

You say you have midi songs - are you gong to song mode first and then trying to load from USB. You shoudn't go to media to do it

In song mode, I tap PLY1 and than the drop down list DISK. USB doesn't show in the drop down list..

OK try going to media first and see if you can see the USB there and if you see the songs listed

Nop

Guess I'll have to try another stick unless I need to "unlock/enable" the USB port or something like that ??

No I think you may need to format the USB on the keyboard initially. There isn't anything form memory locking the USB

Can you see the songs or anything at all under media using the usb stick? Are they definitely midi files?

No the USB option doesn't appear in the drop down list. I'm going to try some other sticks tonight, I suspect that for some reason my scandisk is the problem although it works fine on my computers.

Maybe that old "Factory Restore" option is in order???
