Reference Recording Audio with the Hard Disk Recorder Importing an Audio File In addition to letting you record audio directly with the Tyros2, the Hard Disk Recorder also allows you to import audio data from a USB storage device. The benefits of this feature are many. For example, you can: • Use existing audio material (commercially available samples, loops, sound effects, etc.) on the Tyros2. • Record your performance to another device (such as on a computer or audio sequencer), add vocals and other instruments as desired, then import the finished audio to the Tyros2. • Export a recording made on the Tyros2 to a computer-based audio editor-giving you more comprehensive editing features and greater editing convenience-then import the audio back to the Tyros2. (See "Exporting an Audio File" on page 139.) Files which can be imported must have these characteristics: • Stereo Wave data • 44.1 kHz sample rate • 16-bit resolution • A length of less than or equal to 80 minutes 1 Insert the USB device (or connecting cable) to the USB TO DEVICE terminal. For purposes of illustration, we'll use a USB flash drive here. 2 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SELECT] button to call up the AUDIO display. 3 Press the [CHANGE MENU] LCD button (lower [8] button) if neces- sary, then call up the Import function by pressing the [WAVE IMPORT] LCD button (lower [7] button). 137 Tyros2 Owner's Manual
