Song Recording

This instrument allows you to record your performance in two ways: MIDI recording and Audio recording. In
addition, MIDI recording features two different methods: Quick Recording, which is the easiest, most conve-
nient way to record, and Multi Recording, which allows you to record each channel or each track independently.
In this section, we'll take a look at MIDI Quick Recording and Audio Quick Recording.
 MIDI Quick Recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to 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. This instrument allows you to record approximately 300 KB per Song.
 Audio Quick Recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument as an Audio file. Recording is done without
designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/
16-bit) by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. This instru-
ment allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.
Multi Recording
• MIDI Multi Recording: This lets you create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 channels by recording your performance
to each channel one by one.
For details on Multi Recording, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

MIDI Quick Recording

Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection. As necessary,
connect the USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. With this type of record-
ing, each part will be recorded to the following channels.
• Keyboard parts: channels 1–4
• Multi Pad parts: channels 5–8
• Style parts: channels 9–16
