Recording and Playback
Anything played on the Digital Keyboard is recorded
to the USB flash drive as audio data (WAV files*). If
you play along on the Digital Keyboard as you play
back data stored in Digital Keyboard memory, the
memory playback and your keyboard play are both
recorded to USB flash drive.
* Linear PCM, 16bit, 44.1 kHz, Stereo
Each new recording of audio data to a USB flash
drive is automatically assigned a new file name, so
existing data is not overwritten.
Never remove the USB flash drive while Audio
Recorder recording or playback is in progress. Doing
so can corrupt the data on the USB flash drive and
damage the USB flash drive port.
PREPARATION
Be sure to format the USB flash drive on the Digital
Keyboard before using it. See “USB Flash Drive” on
page EN-61 for more information.
1.
Insert the USB flash drive into the Digital
Keyboard’s USB flash drive port.
When you perform a USB flash drive operation or
turn on the Digital Keyboard while a USB flash drive
is plugged in, the Digital Keyboard initially needs to
perform a “mounting” sequence to prepare for data
exchange with the USB flash drive. Digital Keyboard
operations may be momentarily disabled while a
mounting sequence is being performed. While the
mounting process is in progress, the message “Media
Mounting” will be displayed on the display. It may
take up to 10 or 20 seconds or even longer for a USB
flash drive to be mounted. Do not attempt to perform
any operation on the Digital Keyboard while a
mounting sequence is in progress. A USB flash drive
needs to be mounted each time it is connected to the
Digital Keyboard.
