Handling Song Files
A MIDI Song in the User memory of the instrument or on a USB flash drive
can be converted to an Audio Song. Since an Audio Song can be saved only to a
USB flash drive, you should start conversion only after connecting the USB
flash drive to the instrument. For information about which Song types can be
converted, refer to page 66.
See page 67 for information on basic operations.
The following is a detailed procedure of step 4 on that page.
4-1. While “MIDI to Audio” is highlighted, press the [>]
button to call up the setting display.
4-2. Highlight “Execute” by pressing the [d] button, then
press the [>] button.
This operation starts playback and conversion from MIDI to Audio.
This is basically the same as that of Audio Song Recording, which
allows you to record your keyboard performance and other audio, such
as that from [AUX IN]. After you convert the Song, a message “Convert
completed” will be shown and the display returns to Song List display.
The Audio Song converted from a MIDI Song is saved with the same
name as the MIDI Song. The icon displayed to the left of the Song name
on the instrument display is changed, and the Song file extension on
the computer is changed to “.wav”.
Converting a MIDI Song to an Audio Song
during Playback — MIDI to Audio
NOTE
• After conversion, the MIDI
Song remains in the original
data location.
• If you start conversion before
connecting the USB flash
drive to the instrument, an
error message appears on
the display.
NOTICE
Do not turn off the power or
disconnect the USB flash drive
during the conversion.
Otherwise the data will be lost.
NOTE
A message appears when a
Song with same name already
exists in the copy destination.
Select “Overwrite” when you
want to overwrite the selected
Song by using the [
u]/[d]
buttons, then press the [>]
button.
NOTE
To cancel this operation, press
the [EXIT] button during the
conversion. When the
operation is canceled, the
converted Audio Song will not
be saved.
