Recording Your Performance On this instrument, there are two different ways you can record your performances: Song (with MIDI), and Audio. Song Recording You can record your performances to the internal memory as User Songs. This approach makes editing easy, as you can record to individual tracks, erase tracks after recording, and re-record individual tracks, etc. You can record a maximum of 10 User Songs and up to a total of about 19,000 notes. User Songs can be exported to a USB flash drive as MIDI files, which can be played and edited on other MIDI devices or sequencers (page 59). Audio Recording You can record your performances and save them to a USB flash drive as audio files. You can also record audio from the [MIC INPUT] jack, the [AUX IN] jack, and the [USB TO HOST] terminal. Audio files are in WAV format (44.1 kHz, 16 bit, stereo), and the maximum recording time is 80 minutes. These audio files can be transferred to and played back on computers and smart devices.
