Song Recording via MIDI – Recording Your Performance via MIDI –

(Figure)
This instrument allows you to record your performance with the following two methods.

MIDI recording (described in this chapter)
With this method, recorded performances are saved as SMF (format 0) MIDI files. If you want to re-record specific sections or edit parameters such as those of Voice, use this method. Also, if you want to record your performance to each channel one by one, execute Multi Channel Recording (page 82).

Audio recording (see page 84)
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16bit), it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer.

Recording Your Performance (Quick Recording)
This simple method lets you start recording immediately without specifying a part you want to record to. For Quick Recording, each part will be recorded to the following channels. Keyboard parts: Ch. 1 – 3 Style parts: Ch. 9 – 16

2	Press the SONG CONTROL [REC] button and the [STOP] button simultaneously.
A blank Song for recording is automatically set.
