Songs

– Playing, Practicing and Recording Songs –

For this instrument, “Song” refers to MIDI data which include preset Songs, commercially available MIDI

format files, etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along

with Song playback and record your own performance as a Song.

You can play back the following types of Songs.

•Preset Songs (in the Preset tab of the Song Selection display)

• Your own recorded Songs (page 68)

• Commercially available Songs: SMF (Standard MIDI File)

NOTE

For information on compatible MIDI formats, refer to page 106.

If you want to play back a Song in a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive containing the Song data

to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.

NOTE

Before using a USB flash drive, be sure to read “Connecting USB Devices” on page 91.

MIDI and Audio

There are two kinds of data that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and audio files.

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound

itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength—just as in

a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator outputs the corresponding

sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as keyboard part and Voice, you can practice

effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular part on or off, or changing Voices.

An audio file is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used with

voice recorders, etc. Audio data in WAV format can be played back on this instrument just like playing it on your

smartphone or portable music player, etc.

NOTE

For instructions on playback and recording of audio files, refer to page 72.
