5 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 keyboards and Pedalboard 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 71)
• Commercially available Song data: SMF (Standard MIDI File)
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.
1 Press the [SONG FUNCTION] button to call up the “Song
Function” window.
2 Press one of the [1]/[2] (Files) buttons to call up the Song
Selection display.
MIDI Songs and Audio Files
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 76.

NOTE
Before using a USB flash drive,
