Recording Your Performance; Basic Procedure For Recording (Midi Recording/Audio Recording) - Yamaha TransAcoustic TA3 Owner's Manual

Recording your performance

TA3 SH3 SC3
This instrument allows you to record your performance by using one of the following two methods.
• MIDI recording
With this method, you can record your performance on this instrument as a MIDI Song (SMF format 0). Up to 10
MIDI Songs can be saved to internal memory and up to 100 to a USB flash drive (at 500 KB/Song max.). A MIDI Song
uses a small amount of data capacity in comparison to an Audio Song. MIDI recording allows you to record each part
separately.
• Audio recording
With this method, you can record your performance on this instrument as an Audio Song (WAV). Up to 100 Audio
Songs can be saved (at 80 minutes/Song max.) to a USB flash drive. The audio input sound* from the connected
external device (computer, smart device, etc.) can also be recorded.
When the Song is recorded to a USB flash drive, a MIDI Song will be named "USERSONG**.MID" (**: 00–99) and an
Audio Song will be named "AUDIOSONG**.WAV", and saved to the "USER FILES" folder.
NOTE
• The phrase "audio input sound" here refers to audio data sent to this instrument from external devices, such as a computer or a smart
device, when connecting the instrument with such devices via [AUX IN] jack, [USB TO HOST] terminal, wireless LAN, or Bluetooth. For
information on connecting to external devices, refer to Chapter 5 (page 55).
• You cannot start recording during Song playback. Make sure to stop playback beforehand.
• The acoustic piano sound cannot be recorded. When in the Layer mode (page 21), only the digital sound is recorded.
• If the Voice is set to "---," it is recorded with the CFX Grand Voice in MIDI recording, while no sound is recorded in Audio recording.
