Recording your performance
This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two data formats.
MIDI data format
Recorded performances are saved as an SMF (format 0) MIDI Song. Two types of recording methods are
available: Recording without specifying the Part, and Multi Recording, which lets you record specific Parts.
You can also re-record only the specified range in case your performance was not satisfactory, or even change
the Voice or tempo. The maximum size for recording on this instrument is approx. 550KB per single MIDI
Song.
Audio data format
Recorded performances are saved as Audio Songs. Recording is done without specifying the recorded part.
Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD-quality resolution (44.1 kHz/16 bit), it can be
transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. This instrument’s recordable time
is up to 80 minutes per single Audio recording.
If you wish to record on a USB storage device, read “Connecting a USB storage device” (page 51) then follow
the instructions below after connecting the USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
For details about the difference between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs, refer to page 27.
As described above, two methods are available.
Recording without specifying the Part (MIDI/Audio data format)
..................................................................................................... page 34
With MIDI data format recording, the performance will be recorded to Part 1.
Multi Recording of specific Parts (MIDI data format) .............. page 36
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.
