Recording
It's easy to record your own performances.
You can play back a recorded performance to check your playing, or perform along with a recorded performance.
The HPi-50e can record SMF and audio.
SMF Recording and Audio Recording
Type of recording
Explanation
The musical performance is recorded as data that describes everything that happened, such as which notes were played, and for how
long and how strongly.
This method of recording allows you to record the parts separately, or to re-record just a specific region of the song. You can also do

overdubbing.
A song recorded using SMF recording can be viewed as a DigiScore in the notation screen.
* Normally, you should use SMF recording.
Your performance will be recorded as audio data. The recorded song can be used on your computer.
* In order to use audio recording, you must connect a USB flash drive (sold separately) to the USB memory port (p. 17).
* The HPi-50e's piano sound reproduces the depth and spatial feel of a piano by emitting different sounds from the multiple speakers built
Audio recording
into the instrument (Acoustic Projection).
If you record your performance as audio, the song will be recorded as two-channel (stereo) data, meaning that the Acoustic Projection
effect will not be reproduced. (The Acoustic Projection effect is reproduced when you play the keyboard or when you play back a song
that was recorded as SMF data.)
* SMF (Standard MIDI File) is a unified format for handling MIDI-format music data. A wide variety of SMF data can be purchased for listening
enjoyment, instrumental practice, or karaoke.
