Handling Song Files
1.
Select a MIDI Song.
Press the [SONG SELECT] button so that the USER MIDI or USB MIDI
lamp lights, then use the [-/NO]/[+/YES] buttons to select the desired
MIDI Song to be converted.
2.
Call up the File mode.
Press the [FILE] button so that the MIDI TO AUDIO lamp lights.
3.
Select an Audio Song number as destination after
conversion.
Hold down the [FILE] button then use the [-/NO]/[+/YES] buttons to
select the Audio Song number (A.00 – A.99). When you select a Song
number containing data, three dots (like “A.x.x”) are shown in the display.
To overwrite the selected Song, go to step 4. To avoid overwriting, select
another Song then go to step 4.
4.
Execute conversion by playing back the MIDI Song.
If an empty Song is selected in step 3, release the [FILE] button then press
the [+/YES] button. If a Song containing data is selected in step 3, release
the [FILE] button then press the [+/YES] button twice. This operation
starts playback and conversion from MIDI to audio. After starting
playback (conversion), wait until playback ends. This is necessary because
the MIDI Song is re-recorded in real time during playback to an Audio
Song. When the conversion is completed, “End” will appear in the display.
To cancel conversion, press the [-/NO] button in response to “n y” or “n¯y.”
During audio conversion
• The elapsed time is shown on the display.
• This operation is basically the same as that of Audio Song Recording,
allowing you to record your keyboard performance and audio signals via
the AUIX IN jack (such as the microphone sound).
• To stop audio conversion, press the [STOP] or [-/NO] button. In this
case, data converted until this operation is not saved.
NOTICE
During audio conversion, do not turn off the power of the instrument or disconnect the USB
storage device.
5.
Exit from the File mode.
Press the [-/NO] or [+/YES] button then press the [FILE] button several
times until its lamp is turned off.

remaining capacity in the USB
storage device, the converted
Audio Song cannot be saved. To
ensure sufficient memory for
conversion, try erasing
unnecessary files (page 43).
