Recording Your Performance

This instrument allows you to record your performance by using one of the following two methods. The

recorded performance can be played back as a User Song.

 MIDI recording

With this method, your keyboard performances are recorded and saved to the instrument or USB flash drive as a

MIDI Song (via the SMF format 0). Up to 10 Songs can be recorded to the instrument, although more can be

recorded to USB flash drive (see below).

 Audio recording

With this method, your keyboard performances are recorded then saved to USB flash drive as an Audio Song in ste-

reo WAV format of normal CD-quality resolution. The saved Audio Song can be transmitted to then played on porta-

ble music players. The recordable time differs depending on the capacity of the USB flash drive.

NOTICE

When the selected Song contains data, keep in mind that recording new data will erase

the existing data.

NOTE

If you intend to play back your recording

only on the instrument itself, we recom-

mend using MIDI recording. Songs

recorded with the MIDI recording method

are output from the four speakers of the

instrument, just as they are when you play/

record. However, Songs recorded by Audio

recording are output only from the left and

right speakers, and do not use the center or

rear speakers.

NOTE

If you make an audio recording while using

headphones and then play that recorded

audio Song through speakers, you should

set “Binaural sampling/Stereophonic Opti-

mizer” to “OFF.” Refer to page 18 for

details.

NOTE

Record mode cannot be called up in the fol-

lowing situations.

• During Song playback (page 31)

• During file management operations

such as Copy (page 38), Delete (page

39) and Format(page 37)

When skipping Steps 1 to 4 with an

unrecordable Song selected:

Pressing [RECORD] selects the lowest

numbered Song (of those containing no

data) as the Recording target.

• If “

**” is selected, pressing [RECORD]

selects “

**” (Audio Song in the USB

flash drive).

• If “

**,” “

selected, pressing [RECORD] selects

When is USB flash drive necessary?

MIDI Songs can be saved to internal memory of this instrument or to USB flash

drive, while Audio Songs can only be saved to the USB flash drive.

As necessary, prepare a USB flash drive referring to “About USB Flash Drives”

(page 36).
