Recording Your Performance - Yamaha PSR-SX600 Owner's Manual

Recording Your Performance

You can record your performance and save it as a MIDI file (SMF format 0) to the
USER drive or USB flash drive. Since the recorded data is MIDI, you can easily edit
your Songs.
MIDI recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the User memory of the
instrument or a USB flash drive as an SMF (format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-
record a specific section or change Voices and edit other parameters, use this
method. Also, if you want to record your performance to each channel one by one,
execute Multi Track Recording of the MIDI recording method. Since a MIDI
Song can be re-recorded as an audio file after recording (page 75), you may want
to use MIDI recording (with overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a
complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play live. This
instrument allows you to record approximately 1MB per Song.
Two recording methods are available:
• Quick Recording .................See section below.
You can record all parts of your performance at once without changing the channel/part assignment. Or you
can record a particular part separately (right-hand, left-hand or Style playback).
• Multi Track Recording.......page 69
You can record data to each part one-by-one over a different channel number, to create a single, multi-part
Song. The channel/part assignments can be freely changed.
Audio recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as Audio files (WAV format/44.1kHz/
16-bit/stereo). For instructions on Audio recording, refer to page 75.
Quick Recording
With this recording, each part will be recorded as the following channels.
• Keyboard parts: channels 1 – 3
• Multi Pad parts: channels 5 – 8
• Style parts: channels 9 – 16
