Performing with Audio Files
( AUDIO KEY)
Never disconnect the USB memory while the Audio Key function is in use.
The VP-770 lets you play audio fi les saved on USB memory (sold separately) while you perform. This is
called the “Audio Key” function.
The Audio Key function lets you assign audio fi les to the lowest fi fteen keys of the keyboard and play these
audio fi les by pressing the corresponding key. You can assign various phrases to the keys and play them at
the appropriate moments during your performance.

You can also specify that an audio fi le play repeatedly, or reserve the audio fi le that should be played next.
Here are some ways in which you can enjoy using the Audio Key function.
By switching audio fi les between sections such as Intro, Theme, Break, and Ending as your song
progresses, you can freely change the structure of the song while you perform.
Assign a diff erent audio song to each key, and use the keyboard to switch songs so you can perform
to the accompaniment of an audio song.
For details on the format of the audio fi les, refer to “Audio Files that can be Played by the VP-770” (p. 73).

For details, refer to “Audio Key Utility 3 Quick Guide” (separate document).
