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 internal memory of this 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 saved to USB flash drive as an Audio Song in stereo WAV format of normal CD-quality resolution. The saved Audio Song can be transmitted to then played on portable music players. The recordable time differs depending on the capacity of the USB flash drive.

1	Connect a USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.

When is USB flash drive necessary?
MIDI Songs can be saved to internal memory of this instrument or to USB flash drive, while Audio Songs can only be saved to the USB flash drive. 
As necessary, prepare a USB flash drive referring to "About USB Devices" (page 31).

NOTE
If you intend to play back your recording only on the instrument itself, we recommend using MIDI recording for optimum sound. When using Audio recording, Piano Voices created by four-channel sampling will be recorded in stereo (two-channel).

NOTE
If a coded message appears on the display when connecting the USB flash drive to the instrument, refer to the "Message List" on page 42.

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 Optimizer" to "OFF." Refer to page 15 for details.

2	Select the Recording method. 

To make a MIDI Recording: 
While holding down [DEMO/SONG], press [plus] or [minus] until "U.**" (for saving data to the instrument) or "S.**" (for saving data to the USB flash drive) is shown on the display. 

To make an Audio Recording: 
While holding down [DEMO/SONG], press [plus] or [minus] until "A.**" (for saving data to the USB flash drive) is shown on the display.
