Song Recording
– Recording Your Performance –
This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.
• MIDI recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the User memory of the instrument or a USB flash drive as an
SMF (format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or change Voices and edit other parameters, use
this method. Also if you want to record your performance to each channel one by one, execute Multi Track Recording
of the MIDI recording method. Since a MIDI Song can be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 82), you
may want to use MIDI recording (with overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you
would not otherwise be able to play live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record
approximately 3 MB per Song.
• Audio recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the User memory of the instrument or a USB flash drive as
Audio files. Since they are saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16-bit) by default,
they can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. The sound input from [MIC/
LINE IN] jack, [AUX IN] jack, etc. is also recorded, so you can record your singing voice through the microphone or
the sound played back on the connected audio device. The file format can be changed to MP3 via [Menu] →
[SongSetting] → [Rec] → [Audio Rec Format]. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single
recording.
NOTE
For a general overview of MIDI and how you can effectively use it, refer to "MIDI Basics" on website (page 9).

Basic Procedure for Recording (MIDI/Audio Recording)

Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection (for MIDI Recording and Audio
Recording) and the microphone connection (only for Audio Recording, if you want to record your vocal).
As necessary, connect the USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, especially if you want to
execute Audio Recording.
NOTE
Before using a USB flash drive, be sure to read "Connecting USB Devices" on page 100.
Before starting Audio Recording:
In Audio Recording, the performance data is automatically saved to the USB flash drive or User memory while
recording. If you want to save the date to a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE]
terminal beforehand. If it is not connected, the recorded data is automatically saved to User memory.
