Recording and Playback
This instrument allows you to record your performance by using one of the following two methods. The
recorded performance can be played back and saved for use with other devices.
MIDI recording
With this method, your keyboard performances are recorded and saved to internal memory of this unit as a
MIDI Song (SMF format 0). In a MIDI song, the information of your keyboard performance (such as keystroke
and velocity) is recorded. This is not a recording of the actual sound. Information such as the selected Voice,
Beat and Tempo is also recorded to the MIDI Song. The recorded MIDI Song can be transmitted and saved to
a computer (page 31).
Audio recording
With this method, your keyboard performances are recorded then saved to USB flash drive as an Audio Song
in stereo WAV format of normal CD-quality resolution (44.1 kHz/16 bit, stereo). The saved Audio Song can be
transmitted to and played on portable music players.
NOTE
You can use the metronome (page 19) while recording, although the metronome sound will not be recorded.
Recording your performance to internal memory (MIDI
recording)
One Song can be recorded in the MIDI format to the internal memory of this unit. The recorded MIDI Song is
maintained in the internal memory even when the power is turned off.
NOTICE
Note that recording to internal memory will overwrite any previously recorded data. To prevent your important data
from being overwritten and erased, save the necessary data to a computer (page 31).
NOTE
• This instrument can record up to approximately 500 KB (approx. 55,000 notes). This is equivalent to about 40 minutes for
conventional songs. However, frequent use of the pedals or changing of Voices while playing may cause the recording time
to be shortened to five minutes.
• You cannot start recording during Song playback. Make sure to stop playback beforehand.
