Recording A New Song (Mp3 File) - Korg Pa3X 76-keys User Manual

Recording a new Song (MP3 file)

With Pa3X, you can record your performance as an MP3 file. Keep in mind what follows:
• All you play on the keyboard, the Styles and the Standard MIDI Files performed by the Players will
be recorded.
• Any audio signal entering the Audio Inputs is recorded (single microphone input with the "Mic In
to Voice Processor" option selected, or the Left and Right line inputs with the "L+R to MP3 (no Mic)"
option selected. See "Audio Setup: Audio In" on page 215). Harmony voices generated by the Voice
Processor will be recorded as well.
• You will not be able to load MP3 files while recording an MP3 Song, and you will not be able to
record an MP3 Song while an MP3 file is playing.
You will then be able to play the resulting MP3 files using the Pa3X Players, as with any other MP3
file.
1
To access recording, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press the RECORD button.
The MP3 Record dialog box will appear.
When not recording, the shown status is Idle.
2
Choose the preferred MP3 audio quality option, by means of the "Quality" pop-up
menu.
The higher the sound quality, the larger the MP3 file that will be generated.
3
Use the "Device" parameter to choose a location where to temporary store the
recorded MP3 file.
This is not the final destination of your file, since you will be able to choose a different location
after recording. However, be sure there is space enough for the temporary file, by reading the
"Free space" parameter.
The default device is automatically selected as the recording unit; use the Device pop-up menu
to choose a different one. You can record to the internal storage memory, or to a device con-
nected to one of the USB ports.
4
When done, touch the "Rec" button in the display to start recording.
The "Rec" button changes to "Stop", and can be touched again to stop recording. Also, the "Idle"
label changes to "Recording".
