Recording Your Performance as Audio (USB Audio Recorder) (PSR-S900)
Here you’ll learn how to record your performance as audio data to a USB storage device. For example, by connecting a gui-
tar, microphone or other device to the instrument, you can record an ensemble performance of guitar and keyboard
together or record yourself singing along with Song playback. The performance data is saved as a WAV file of conventional
CD quality (44.1 kHz/16 bit). Since it is possible to play back the file on computer, a listener doesn’t need to have the par-
ticular instrument in order to hear the performance. This makes it possible to easily share your performances and recordings
with your friends via e-mail, record your own CDs, or upload the recordings to websites for many others to enjoy as well.
Recording methods on the instrument include MIDI recording as well as audio recording. For details about the difference
between audio and MIDI recording, see page 201. For specific instructions on MIDI recording, refer to page 147.
•In order to record your own original CD, you’ll need a CD-R drive (or compatible device). Refer to the manual that came with your
specific computer for details.
• When you attach a recorded file in an e-mail message, make sure the file size is small enough to be sent.
The following sounds can be recorded.
• Internal tone generator of the instrument.
Keyboard parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left), Song parts, Style parts
• Input from a microphone, guitar or other instrument (via the [MIC/LINE IN] jack).
• Input from another audio device, such as a CD player, MP3 player or the like (via the [MIC/LINE IN] jack).
nSongs protected by copyright, such as preset songs, and the metronome sound cannot be recorded.
The recorded data using this function is saved as:
•Stereo WAV data
• 44.1 kHz sample rate/16 bit resolution

Recording Your Performance as Audio

Now, try recording a performance of your singing along with Song playback with a connected microphone. The maxi-
mum amount of recording time is 80 minutes, though this may differ depending on the capacity of the particular USB
storage device.
Here, you’ll also see by example how to sing along with accompaniment/Style playback. To set the Style, go
on to step 6 (page 48).
•To record your performance by USB Audio Recorder, use the compatible USB flash memory. When the USB flash
memory is not compatible, it is not likely to be able to record/playback normally.
• Before using a USB storage device, be sure to read “Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy
Disk, etc)” on page 23.
