Audio
The convenient [AUDIO] button allows you to play back audio files (.WAV) saved to a USB flash drive.
Moreover, since you can record your performances and recordings as audio data (.WAV) to a USB flash drive,
it is possible to play back the files on computer, share them with your friends, and record your own CDs to
enjoy as well.
Compatible USB flash drives
Please make sure to use the compatible USB flash drives
listed in the Compatible USB Device List downloadable
from the Yamaha website:
http://download.yamaha.com/
Use of unsupported devices may result in data saving/
recalling operations to abort, etc. Before using a USB
flash drive, be sure to read “Connecting a USB device” on
page 110.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to data,
follow the notices below.
• Yamaha recommends that you format a USB flash drive,
after checking if the USB flash drive does not contain any
important data, and to use it only for audio recording/
playback. Using MDR Songs and audio data together in
the same drive may cause severe fragmentation of the
USB flash drive, and may stop audio recording/playback
altogether.
• Insert the USB flash drive firmly and take care that the
USB flash drive does not loosen from the connection from
sudden shaking while performing, etc. during audio
recording/playback. If the USB flash drive is disconnected
while recording, it may result in data corruption in the
USB flash drive.
Recording Your
Performance as Audio
Try recording your performance as an audio file to a USB
flash drive. Maximum amount of recording time is 60
minutes per recording, though this may be less
depending on the capacity of the particular USB flash
drive.

Audio Recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved
to a USB flash drive as an audio file. An Audio file is a
recording of the performed sound itself. Since it is
saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality
resolution (44.1kHz/16bit), it can be transmitted to
and played on portable music players by using a
computer. You can also record the monophonic
sound of an external device since all the sounds
produced via your vocal or guitar performance and
the sound input from the [MIC./LINE IN] jack will
be recorded.
NOTE
• The sound input from the [AUX IN] jack cannot be recorded.
• Keep in mind, however, that Audio recording cannot be used
to save Registrations. If you want to save Registrations,
perform the “Recording” operation described on page 114 in
chapter 7.
