Audio

The convenient [AUDIO] button allows you to play back audio files (.WAV) saved to a USB flash
drive. Moreover, since you can record your performances and recordings as audio data (.WAV) to
a USB flash drive, it is possible to play back the files on computer, share them with your friends,
and record your own CDs to enjoy as well.
Compatible USB flash drives
Please make sure to use the compatible USB flash drives listed in the Compatible USB Device List downloadable
from the Yamaha website:
http://download.yamaha.com/
Use of unsupported devices may result in data saving/recalling operations to abort, etc. Before using a USB flash
drive, be sure to read "Connecting a USB Device" on page 132.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to data, follow the notices below.
• Yamaha recommends that you format a USB flash drive (page 133), after checking if the USB flash drive does not contain any
important data, and to use it only for audio recording/playback. Using MDR Songs and audio data together in the same drive
may cause severe fragmentation of the USB flash drive, and may stop audio recording/playback altogether.
• Insert the USB flash drive firmly and take care that the USB flash drive does not loosen from the connection from sudden
shaking while performing, etc. during audio recording/playback. If the USB flash drive is disconnected while recording, it may
result in data corruption in the USB flash drive.

Recording Your Performance as Audio

Audio Recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an audio file.
An Audio file is a recording of the performed sound itself. Since it is saved in stereo WAV
format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16bit), it can be transmitted to and
played on portable music players by using a computer. You can also record the sound of
an external device since all the sounds produced via your keyboard performance and the
sound input from the [AUX IN] jack will be recorded.
Keep in mind, however, that Audio recording cannot be used to save Registrations. If you
want to save Registrations, perform the "Recording" operation described on page 138 in
chapter 6.
