WAV and MP3 files loaded from a USB flash drive to the Digital Piano’s internal memory can be saved directly from the internal memory to the USB flash drive.
They can also be converted to a standard MIDI file (SMF format 0, extension: .MID) and saved.
- When saving in MRF format
  
  Not only performance information, but also settings for functions specific to this Digital Piano (such as Acoustic Simulator settings) are saved. When a file saved in this format is played back on the Digital Piano, the original performance is reproduced. However, MRF files cannot be used with other instruments.
- When saving in SMF format
  
  Performance information is saved, but the settings for the Digital Piano-specific functions are not. Therefore, even if a file saved in this format is played back on this Digital Piano, the Digital Piano-specific settings of the Digital Piano’s functions are not restored to their original settings. However, files saved in this format can be used with other SMF-compatible instruments. (It is not possible to reproduce the same performance from this Digital Piano on other instruments.)
Loaded as a User Song (song numbers 61-70). See “Loading a MIDI File from a USB Flash Drive into the Digital Piano”.
