Recording your performance as audio data

13. Recording your performance as audio data
Your BK-7m allows you to record everything it can transmit to its outputs, i.e. Music Style or song playback, your playing,
your singing, and any audio signal transmitted to the BK-7m. (The metronome signal is not recorded.)
Feel free to connect the master outputs of an external
mixing console to the BK-7m's AUDIO INPUT sockets if
you want to record your band or the signals of an accor-
dion, additional synthesizers, pianos, drum machines,
etc., as well.
The resulting audio file is stored in the WAV format (not
mp3), which allows you to burn your recordings onto a
CD using your computer.
NOTE
You will need a USB memory to record your performance.
