Transmitting/Receiving Audio Data (Usb Audio Interface Function) - Yamaha P-515 Owner's Manual

Transmitting/Receiving Audio Data (USB Audio
Interface function)
By connecting a computer or a smart device to the [USB TO HOST] terminal
via a USB cable, digital audio data can be transmitted/received. This USB
Audio Interface function provides the following advantages:
• Playing back audio data with high sound quality
This gives you direct, clear sound in which the sound quality has less noise and
deterioration than that from the [AUX IN] jack.
• Recording performance on the instrument as audio data by
using a recording software or a music production software
The recorded audio data can be played back on the computer or smart device.
Audio Loop Back On/Off
This allows you to set whether audio sound input (page 54) from the connected
computer or smart device is output to a computer or a smart device or not
along with the performance played on the instrument. To output the audio
input sound, set the Audio Loop Back to "On. "
For example, if you want to record the audio input sound as well as the sound
played on the instrument by using the computer or the smart device, set this to
"On. " If you intend to record only the sound played on the instrument by using
the computer or the smart device, set this to "Off. "
To make the setting, press the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly to call up the
"System" menu display: "Utility" → "Audio Loop Back" (page 102).
Audio EQ On/Off
This allows you to set whether the optimum EQ (or Equalizer) settings are
provided for audio sound input (page 54) from the connected computer or
smart device or not.
This function also affects the audio input sound that is output to a computer,
etc. along with the performance played on the instrument.
Audio sound input from the connected computer, etc. will be the optimum
sound using this function.
We recommend that you set this function off when outputting audio input
sound to a computer, etc.
To make the setting, press the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly to call up the
"System" menu display: "Utility" → "Audio EQ" (page 102).
Effective Use of a Computer or Smart Device with the Instrument
NOTE

function also affects the
audio input sound when
using the Bluetooth Audio
function (page 81) or wireless
LAN connection (page 75).
• The volume of the audio input
sound can be adjusted from
a computer or smart device.
• The playback sound of an
Audio Song (page 44) is also
output to a computer or smart
device when this is set to
"On," while the sound is not
output when this is set to
"Off."
• With Audio Recording
(page 61), the audio input
sound from the connected
computer or smart device is
recorded when this is set to
"On," while the sound is not
recorded when this is set to
"Off."
