– Playing, Practicing and Recording Songs –

For the PSR-S670, “Song” refers to the MIDI songs which
include preset songs, commercially available MIDI format files,
etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you
can also play the keyboard along with Song playback and record
your own performance as a Song.

You can play back the following types of Songs.

• Preset Songs (in the PRESET tab of the Song Selection display)
• Your own recorded Songs (page 66)
• Commercially available Song data: SMF (Standard MIDI File)

If you want to play back a Song in USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive
containing Song data to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.

Press the [SONG FUNCTION] button to call up the SONG
FUNCTION MENU display.

Press one of the [1 ] (SELECT) buttons in the SONG
FUNCTION MENU to call up the Song Selection display.

NOTE

For instructions on playback and
recording of audio files, refer to
page 69.

MIDI song

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a
recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which
keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength — just as in a musical score.
Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator outputs the
corresponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as
keyboard part and Voice, you can practice effectively by viewing the score, turning
the particular part on or off, or changing Voices.
