Importing An Audio File - Yamaha Tyros3 Reference Manual

Recording Audio with the Hard Disk

Importing an Audio File

In addition to letting you record audio directly with the Tyros3, the Hard Disk Recorder also allows you to import
audio data from a USB storage device to Main track. The benefits of this feature are many. For example, you can:
• Use existing audio material (commercially available samples, loops, sound effects, etc.) on the Tyros3.
• Record your performance to another device (such as on a computer or audio sequencer), add vocals and other
instruments as desired, then import the finished audio to the Tyros3.

• Export a recording made on the Tyros3 to a computer-based audio editor-giving you more comprehensive edit-
ing features and greater editing convenience-then import the audio back to the Tyros3. (See "Exporting an
Audio File" on the Owner's Manual.)
Files which can be imported must have these characteristics:
• Stereo Wave data
• 44.1 kHz sample rate
• 16-bit resolution
• A length of less than or equal to 80 minutes
