Handling Recorded Songs with a USB Storage Device
You can handle recorded songs (save, load, and delete) with a USB storage device. You can also for-
mat the device or media.
Before using a USB device, read the “Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal” sec-
tion on page 53.

About Save and Load

Save

You can save three recorded songs in the instrument to the USB storage device as SMF
song files. These songs can be saved to a “container” (or “USB” file) in the USB storage
device. 100 containers are available — S00–S99.
Since the recorded songs are saved in SMF format, they can be played back on other
instruments.

Load

If you want to only play the song in the USB storage device, the following operation is
not necessary. For instructions on playing the song, see “Playing Back USER and USB
Songs” on page 36. The Load operation can be used if you want to edit the recorded
song on the instrument. Data can be loaded to “USER” file (U03).
Handling of recorded songs can-
not be done during Demo/PRE-
SET/USER/USB Song playback
and in the Record mode.
For details on connecting a USB
storage device, see page 49.
The file numbers which can be
handled in this instrument are 100
files.
• SMF song numbers: S00–S99

TERMINOLOGY
SMF (Standard MIDI File):
The SMF (Standard MIDI File)
format is one of the most common
and widely compatible sequence
formats used for storing sequence
data. There are two variations:
Format 0 and Format 1.
A large number of MIDI devices
are compatible with SMF Format 0,
and most commercially available
MIDI sequence data is provided in
SMF Format 0. The SMF format for
sequence files allows you to
exchange song data between
different sequencers. User songs
recorded on the instrument are
SMF Format 0.
