Recording Your Performance

This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

• MIDI Recording

With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash memory as an SMF

(format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice, use this

method. Also you can record your performance to each Track one by one. Since a MIDI Song can be

converted to an Audio Song after recording (page65), you may want to use MIDI recording (with

overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to

play live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 500 KB of

data per Song.

• Audio Recording

With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash memory as an Audio file. Recording is

done without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality

resolution (44.1kHz/16bit) by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by

using a computer. Because audio signals via the [AUX IN] jack are also recorded, you can record your

keyboard performance along with the performance sound of the connected CD player or portable music

players. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.

For details about the difference between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs, refer to page38.

This chapter covers the following four methods. Note that the created data

format differs depending on the method, MIDI or Audio.

• Quick MIDI Recording ....................................... page51

This method lets you start recording most quickly. Your performance will be

recorded and saved to the “User” category in this instrument’s internal

memory.

• MIDI Recording—Independent Tracks .............. page53

This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can

record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both

parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, record the

performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated

compositions.

• MIDI Recording to the USB Flash Memory ....... page55

This method is useful when you want to overwrite the already recorded MIDI

Song in the USB flash memory or create a New MIDI Song on the USB flash

memory.

• Audio Recording to the USB Flash Memory ...... page56

This method lets you record your performance as Audio data to the USB flash

memory connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.
