Computer-related Operations 8
Recording Your Keyboard Performance as
MIDI Data to a Computer
By using Music Production software on the computer, you can record your keyboard
performance as MIDI data. For detailed instructions, refer to the manual of the application.
This section covers the basic settings you need to make on the instrument for recording.
Keep in mind that some of the following functions may not be available on the instrument.

● Local Control settings

When recording your keyboard performance to the connected computer, the MIDI data
you play is transmitted to the computer and returned back to the instrument. This
causes a “double” sound, since the tone generator of the instrument receives the
keyboard performance data directly from the keyboard as well as the computer. To avoid
this situation, set Local Control to “Off,” in order to separate the tone generator of the
instrument from the keyboard.
NOTE
• When you use a software synthesizer as a tone generator, be sure to make settings
on the computer application so that the MIDI data received from the instrument will
not be returned back to the instrument, in addition to setting Local Control to “Off.”

● External Clock
When playing back Style/Arpeggio data, you should set which clock is used, that of the
instrument or the computer. If you use the clock of the computer, make settings on the
instrument so that Style/Arpeggio playback follows the external clock.

● MIDI Transmit settings

Make settings so that Style/Arpeggio playback as well as the keyboard performance will
be transmitted to the computer. Note that some instruments cannot transmit playback
data.

● Transmitting the Panel Settings (Initial Send)

By executing this before recording, you can record the panel settings to the beginning of
the Song data. This ensures that the proper and expected sounds will be produced when
the recorded Song plays back.

Computer-related Operations 9
Recording Your Keyboard Performance as
Audio Data to a Computer
You can record your keyboard performance as audio data to a music production software on
