Recording Your Performance
This instrument allows you to record your performance by using one of the following two methods. The
recorded performance can be played back as a User Song.
MIDI recording
With this method, your keyboard performances are recorded and saved to the instrument or USB flash drive as a
MIDI Song (via the SMF format 0). Up to 10 Songs can be recorded to the instrument, although more can be
recorded to USB flash drive (see below).
Audio recording
With this method, your keyboard performances are recorded then saved to USB flash drive as an Audio Song in ste-
reo WAV format of normal CD-quality resolution. The saved Audio Song can be transmitted to then played on porta-
ble music players. The recordable time differs depending on the capacity of the USB flash drive.

When the selected Song contains already-recorded data:
You can confirm it by checking the display.
NOTICE
When the selected Song contains data, keep in mind that recording new data will erase
the existing data.
NOTE
If you intend to play back your recording
only on the instrument itself, we recom-
mend using MIDI recording. Songs
recorded with the MIDI recording method
are output from the four speakers of the
instrument, just as they are when you play/
record. However, Songs recorded by Audio
recording are output only from the left and
right speakers, and do not use the center or
rear speakers.
NOTE
If you make an audio recording while using
headphones and then play that recorded
audio Song through speakers, you should
set “Binaural sampling/Stereophonic Opti-
mizer” to “OFF.” Refer to page 18 for
details.
NOTE
Record mode cannot be called up in the fol-
lowing situations.
