Installing the MP3 Board (EXBP-MP3)
Recording an MP3
Recording an MP3
If your Pa1X is fitted with the optional MP3 Board (EXBP-MP3)
and a hard disk
(optional on the Pa1X with speakers)
, you can
record your performance as an MP3 file.
Note:
You cannot enter MP3 Record mode while in Sequencer or
Disk mode.
• All you play on the keyboard, the Styles and the Standard MIDI
Files performed by the sequencer will be recorded. Audio enter-
ing the Audio Input 1 (microphone input, or mono line-level
input), and harmony voices generated by the Voice Processor
will be recorded as well.
• Playback of MP3 files and Audio CD tracks will not be
recorded.
To enter recording, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press
the REC button. The following dialog box will appear.
Select the preferred MP3 audio quality option, by means of the
Quality pop-up menu. The higher the sound quality, the larger
the MP3 file that will be generated.
When done, press the Rec button in the display to start
recording. The Rec button changes to Stop, and can be
pressed again to stop recording. During recording, a big
red ‘R’ will flash in the display.
If you like, you can press the EXIT button to exit this dialog box.
To enter it again, and see the file length or stop recording, press
SHIFT+REC again.
During recording, you can use this dialog box to see the Record-
ing time, file length, and the remaining space on disk. Maximum
recording time depends on the available space on the hard disk.
After pressing Stop, recording will stop, and the following dialog
box will appear:
Press the
(Text Edit) button to assign a name to the MP3
File. Press the Browse button to select a device and directory
where to save the file. Press the Save button to save the file.
After saving, you can listen to the MP3 file in Song Play mode, as
you did with any other Song.
The MP3 file can also be moved to a personal computer for fur-
ther editing, via the USB interface.
Notes
Operating system version
•
To use the EXBP-MP3, your Pa1X must be fitted with Operating Sys-
tem 1.51 or higher.
Audio outputs
•
After installing the EXBP-MP3 board, the audio output level (both on
the OUTPUT connectors and the internal speakers) is increased of
about 3dB. Readjust the master volume accordingly.
•
Audio generated by the MP3 board is only output on the Left+Right
analog outputs. It cannot be routed to the digital output.
Playback
•
MP3 files recorded with lower sampling rates may not sound very
good. This is an unavoidable problem with MP3 files.
•
You can assign an MP3 file to both sequencers, but starting one stops
the other (if it is playing).
•
When reading MP3 files from a data CD, and the CD has been auto-
matically paused for having been inactive for some time, starting play-
back may require some seconds, because the CD has to start spinning
again.
Recording
•
You can record as an MP3 file everything you play with the Pa1X,
including your vocals (in other words, you can record your whole per-
formance). However, you cannot record MP3 files or convert Audio
CD Tracks.
•
You can listen to Audio CD tracks during MP3 recording, but they will
not be recorded.
Hard disk
•
To record MP3 files, your Pa1X must be fitted with a hard disk.
•
It is not advisable to fill the hard disk too much during recording. Fill-
ing the hard disk may cause troubles with the recorded file.
•
Regular care is recommended with your hard disk. Defragmenting and
repairing can be made with any PC utility, while the Pa1X is connected
via USB.
