Recording And Playing Music Tracks; Recording - Physis Piano H1 Reference Manual

4. RECORDING AND PLAYING MUSIC TRACKS

Physis Piano is equipped with a music player for MIDI and audio files; it can also record and save music sequences to the
internal memory or to a USB pen as MIDI files.
The system can manage the following file extension:
-
MIDI sequences: .mid, .kar
-
audio files: .wav, .mp3, .aiff, .aac, .m4a-AAC, .m4a-ALA, .ape, .ogg
N.B.:
•
The SONG/DEMO ambient can record and play MIDI files; however, it is not a proper Standard MIDI sequencer; it
cannot play any Standard MIDI file, only .mid files recorded with a Physis Piano.
•
To record MIDI inputs from the [MIDI IN] or [USB TO HOST] ports, MIDI messages must be received on channels
previously selected through the Midi screen under the FUNCTION menu (see also par. 11.6 in the User Manual). MIDI
messages must also be managed by the instrument (for further information see par. 7.2 of this manual).
•
As there are many different audio formats and conversion software, sound features of each format might vary. Files
with sampling frequency above 192 KHz might not be reproduced properly.
