Playing Back Songs; Songs Compatible With This Instrument - Yamaha NU1 Owner's Manual

This instrument can play back Songs contained in internal memory or USB memory connected to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal. There are two kinds of Songs that can be played back: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.
MIDI Songs and Audio Songs
A MIDI Song contains data of your keyboard performance (such as which keys you played and how hard you played
them), and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played,
at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the
tone generator (of the digital piano, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small amount of data
capacity in comparison to audio recording.
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in
recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. This data can be played with a portable music player, etc.,
allowing you to easily let other people hear your performance.
