Any one with experience here ? My new computer formatted Sandisc USB drive 128 gb , is not recognized in PA900 when plugged into the front port.

PA900 supports USB drives formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 with long file names (User Manual v1.3 page 277 freely downloadable on Korg.com).
As your SanDisc drive is not recognized, I think it is formatted in NTFS (Windows), or HFS+ or APFS (macOS), or ExFAT.

Benedig, how coincidental ! This morning I was reading blog on Firestick issues, fat 32 was mentioned. Downloaded a Rufus 3.12 program to my computer, allows me to format Sandisk 128 GB to the fat 32 choice.. Just tried it on PA-900, recognized and saved. All good. Thanks for replying
