Playing Back and Recording Songs

The preset songs, your recorded performances, and commercially available songs are referred to as "Songs" in this
manual. This instrument allows you to play or record both MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.
• MIDI Songs
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself.
The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical
score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator outputs the corresponding sound. This
instrument can play back MIDI Songs in the SMF (Standard MIDI File) format (file extension: .mid).
• Audio Songs
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used with
voice recorders, etc. Just as with a smartphone or portable music player, etc., this instrument can play back the Audio
Songs in the WAV format (file extension: .wav with 44.1 kHz/16-bit resolution, stereo).

NOTE
Songs recorded by this instrument are called "User" Songs, while Songs created in other ways or on other devices are called "External"
Songs. When you record a Song to a USB flash drive, a "USER FILES" folder is created automatically, and the resulting User Song is
saved in this folder. Songs in the "USER FILES" folder are handled as User Songs while Songs in a location other than the "USER FILES"
folder are handled as External Songs. For information about the playback sequence of Songs in the USB flash drive, refer to page 26.
