Playing Songs And Audio Files; Listening To The Overview Demo - Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-650 Owner's Manual

Playing Songs and Audio Files

There are two kinds of data that can be recorded and played back on this instrument:
Songs and Audio files. Not only can you play back a Song or Audio file and listen to it,
but you can also play the keyboard along with Song or Audio file playback.
• Songs
The Songs are organized by category as listed below, allowing you to easily select from the desired category. The
numbers 001–100 are Preset Songs, and a complete list is provided in the separate Data List. The numbers 101–
105 are Songs you've recorded on this instrument, and numbers from 106 upward are MIDI files in SMF (Stan-
dard MIDI File) format in this instrument's flash memory and a USB flash memory connected to this instrument.
NOTE
• Score data for the Preset Songs (exceptions are the Over View Demo Song and Songs 1–11) are provided in the Songbook,
which is available as a free download from the website (page 9).
• Audio files
Commercially available Audio files in WAV format (file extension: .wav with 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16 bit resolu-
tion, stereo) and your own recorded Audio files on a USB flash memory can be played back (page 45).
Availability of functions differs between Songs and Audio files. In this manual, the following icons indicate
whether or not the explanation applies to Songs or Audio files individually.
