Playing Songs
Your digital piano can play built-in Preset Songs, User Songs that you have recorded, and commercially available
songs. These songs can be in one of two different formats—MIDI or audio.
Song Category list
*: Shown only when a USB flash drive has been plugged into the instrument.
**: Shown
only when the USB flash drive contains data of the corresponding format.
User Songs and Import Songs
The term User Song is used to refer to songs recorded using
the instrument itself; those created in any other way are
referred to as Import Songs. Songs contained within a folder
named USER FILES on a USB flash drive are designated as
User Songs and handled in the same way. Songs located
outside this folder are handled as Import Songs. If the USB
flash drive plugged into the instrument contains no USER
FILES folder, one will be created automatically when you
record a song to that drive. The recorded User Song will
then be saved in that folder.
Supported song data formats
Standard MIDI File formats 0 and 1
Standard MIDI File (SMF) formats are the most commonly
used MIDI formats for storing sequence data. SMF format 0
is used for MIDI songs recorded using this instrument.
Waveform Audio File format
Identified by a .wav file extension, Waveform Audio File For-
mat (WAV) is one of the most common formats used by
computers to record audio data. Your digital piano supports
the playback and recording of 44.1-kHz, 16-bit, stereo .wav
files.

Select the correct song category using
the [SELECT] button.
You can cycle through the available categories
(Aud, Sng, USr, and PrE) with each press of
the button; however, Aud and Sng are shown
only when a USB flash drive has been plugged
into the instrument. If you wish to play an Import
Song (001 to 999), be sure to choose the corre-
sponding category.

Use the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to
select a song number, “rnd” (random),
or “ALL.
If necessary, press the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
together to show Import Songs (001 to 999).
MIDI and audio songs
MIDI songs contain data created by recording the actions of playing and releasing keys—in other words, they do not con-
tain actual audio. This data is similar to sheet music in that it indicates the keys that should be played, as well as when and
how hard they should be played, in order to reproduce a specific piece of music. Using this data, your digital pianos tone
generator can recreate the sound of the recorded performance. MIDI songs are smaller than audio songs because they
contain less data; in addition, they also allow you to change the Voice used for playback and a number of other parameters.
In contrast, audio songs contain actual recordings of the sound of a performance, and they store audio data in much the
same way as a cassette tape or digital voice recorder. Audio songs can be played back on portable music players and
many other types of device, making it easy for you to let others hear what you have played.
