It's a shame that Yamaha doesn't know how to make an instruction manual. My MODX8 already has three manuals. In none of the three does it teach how to format USB Flash. All three manuals are xxxx. It is my first purchase from this disastrous brand. Yamaha is a shame.

Welcome to YamahaSynth!
We moved your post to the MODX Forum as you do not own a MONTAGE.
New USB sticks generally come ready to use. (FAT).
There are several references to using a USB stick in the MODX documentation
___ Reference Manual page 200 — in the UTILITY > CONTENTS > LOAD area
Job (Job Switch)
Determines whether the Job function is active (On) or not (Off.) When this parameter is turned on, touching the File/Folder/Content in “File Select” calls up the menu to select “Rename” or “Delete.”
Touching the currently connected USB device calls up the menu to select “Format.”
Settings: Off, On
___ Reference Manual page 202 — in the UTILITY > CONTENTS > SAVE area
Job (Job Switch)
Determines whether the Job function is active (On) or not (Off.) When this parameter is turned on, touching the File/Folder/Content in “File Select” calls up the menu to select “Rename” or “Delete.”
Touching the currently connected USB device calls up the menu to select “Format.”
Also you can create a new folder when storing a file.
Settings: Off, On
___ Owner’s Manual page 65 refers you to the Reference Manual
Formatting USB flash drive
You should format the USB flash drive only with this instrument. A USB flash drive formatted on another device may not operate properly.
NOTICE: The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the USB flash drive you are formatting does not contain important data.
NOTE: For details about the format, see the Reference Manual PDF document.
My MODX8 already has three manuals.
There are actually five that you should have:
The Owner’s Manual
The Reference Manual
The Supplementary Manual (a new one is issued with each update)
The Data List Booklet
The Synthesizer Parameter Manual
Be sure to get them all! We think an interactive website will serve you better than manuals (you don’t read!)
Most USB flash drives come formatted and ready to use. If, however, you wish to format it in the MODX:
Connect the drive to the TO DEVICE port.
The MODX will search for and verify that it is connecting to the drive.
Press [UTILITY]
Select "Contents"
Select "Store/Save"
Set CONTENT TYPE = User File
A box representing the "USB DISK _ usb1_1" will appear
Touch "Job" in the upper right corner of the screen
Touch the box representing the device, an overlay appears offering "Format"
