USB pen drive mounting forever !

[svkr]

Hi forum members,

 

I have ct-x870in keyboard and i'm trying to use a pen drive with it.

As mentioned in the user manual, i followed these steps:

1. Insert pen drive into usb slot

2. Power on keyboard --> "USB" flashes in the lcd screen

3. Goto Function, choose "Media" and pressed "Enter" --> at thispoint of time, the word "Mounting" is shown. It never goes away.

4. After several minutes, the keyboard aumatically powers itself off.

Unable to choose format option at all !

 

Please help. I purchased the keyboard 2 days back.

Is it a new pen drive?  Does it work with a computer?  Does it have anything on it already?  

[svkr]

It is formatted in windows 10 pc (complete format and not quick format) :-)

... it doesnt have any files or folders (i.e., blank)

[Brad Saucier]

FAT32 format?  Have you tried another pen drive?  

[Jokeyman123]

Careful with these usb drives-I have a long post here somewhere about my experience with counterfeit Chinese drives. The keyboard could be the culprit, but there are so many of these counterfeit drives being sold-this sounds like it could be the problem. It will look OK and format, but will not work properly.

===FAT32 format?

yes, it is fat32.

 

I havent tried another pen drive. I shall try purchasing another USB drive soon.

Disappointment so far!

Same problem with my ct-x9000in, takes ages to format and Mount

[Jokeyman123]

Try a few different thumb drives-sounds like my post above about counterfeit drives, this is how mine behaved. Also make sure the thumb drive wasn't formatted to NTFS-the default Windows 7, 8, 10 format.

Hi there everybody.  I am a new owner of a CT-X3000 and I must say it was an absolute bargain at 290 euros. My CTK-6200 developed the dreaded key noise problem. I solved it by taking a Bremel to the 36 front black plastic strips under the keys and removing  about 3mm from their top edges.

I have never been happy with the piano and string tones on the CTK-6200. The CT-X3000 is in a different league. So many options to choose from. As usual, the Casio manual is a bit of a nightmare but the information is all there - somewhere!  For the beginner, the step input - for example -  is a dream to use, once you get used to the button presses.

As I'm working my way around the keyboard with the manual I write down my button sequence in a notebook. This is definitely helping my progress.

In the manual I missed the bit about formatting a thumb drive to Fat32 and inserted a 64 G drive formatted in Windows as exFat. Works a treat...

Sorry about going off subject, but yes, exFat works fine.

I have the similar problem with my Casio ctx 9000 in , it's mounted ok when I tried with 5 songs with wav format but showing mounting and listing with 68 songs added in my usb drive . How it resolved

[Akshansh - Alex]

CT-X keyboard supports 32GB storage drive.

 

Use only 32GB USB Drive with FAT32 Format.

 

Your song file should be in WAV format 16bit that's the keyboard supports.

In my humble experience,  repeated use of plugging into the USB socket causes premature  wear, which is a well known fact with all makes of keyboard.  I normally keep a USB socket extensions permanently plugged into my keyboards for this reason.

По моему скромному опыту, многократное подключение к разъему USB приводит к преждевременному износу, что является общеизвестным фактом для всех моделей клавиатур. По этой причине я обычно держу удлинители USB-разъемов постоянно подключенными к клавиатуре.

 Я точно так же и с ПК  делаю, давно.
