Playing Back Songs
The following three types of songs are available.
• 50 Piano Preset Songs
50 Piano Preset Songs in the instrument. (page 15)
• User songs in the instrument
User songs which you recorded to the instrument by using the record function
(page 28).
• External songs in the instrument
Songs transferred from a computer (including commercially available songs and
songs which have been edited on a computer). Songs can be transferred (saved) to
the instrument by using the included Musicsoft Downloader software. The songs are
saved to an area of the internal memory separate from the area for recorded User
songs. Up to 255 songs can be played back on this instrument (numbers 001-255).
You can download the Musicsoft Downloader (MSD). Please check the following
URL for the latest version.

If the song cannot be transferred from a computer, you may need to rename the file.
Sequence formats that can be played on the P-140
• SMF (Standard MIDI File) Formats 0 and 1
The SMF format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence for-
mats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format
1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most
commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF
format for sequence files allows you to exchange song data between different
sequencers.
Playing Back User Songs/External Songs on the P-140
1.
Press the [SONG SELECT] button
(the USER indicator lights).
2.
Press the [–/NO] [+/YES] buttons to
select a song.
The User songs are displayed as “Uxx*” and External
songs in the instrument are displayed as “xxx*.”
* The “U” indication in the User song name means
“User.” The letters “xx” represent the song number.
You cannot select songs during
Demo Song playback (page 14).
When playing back songs con-
taining various voices or parts
(such as XG or GM songs), the
voices may not sound correct or
as intended on the original. You
may be able to remedy this and
make the playback sound more
natural or appropriate by chang-
ing the Song Channel Selection
setting (page 43) to “1&2,” so that
only channels 1 and 2 will play
back.
If the metronome is being used
during playback, the metronome
will automatically stop when play-
back is stopped.
If the REVERB type is changed
via the panel controls during play-
back, both the playback and key-
board reverb effects will be
changed.
If the EFFECT type is changed via
the panel controls during playback,
the playback effect may be
switched off in some cases.
