Downloading song data
If you’ve downloaded song files from the Internet to your computer or used your computer to create your own songs, you
can load them to this instrument and save the to SmartMedia card for future use. In this way, virtually any song file can be
used with the versatile functions of the instrument—Karaoke, performance assistant, Easy Song Arranger and Lesson. In
order to transfer song files between the instrument and a computer, you’ll need to install both the Song Filer software and
the USB-MIDI driver (contained in the included CD-ROM). For details on installing the software, see the “Accessory
CD-ROM Installation Guide” on page 71. (Keep in mind that Song Filer cannot be used to transmit data from the PSR-K1
to a computer. Also, when you download songs to SmartMedia card, make sure that the write-protect seal is not affixed to
the card.)
Data transmission limitations
• Maximum number of songs : 894 (song numbers 106 – 999)
• Maximum amount of data : Depends on the capacity of the SmartMedia card
• Data format : SMF Format 0 (Format 1 files are automatically converted to Format 0.)
■ Using the Song Filer
ᕡ After installing Song Filer and the USB-MIDI driver to your computer, connect the
instrument and computer with a USB cable. (See page 67.)
ᕢ Insert a SmartMedia card to the instrument and turn the power on.
ᕣ Start the Song Filer program on your computer.
ᕤ Song files (of SMF Format 0) contained in the SmartMedia card are shown in the
display.
Song Filer allows you to transfer song files between your computer and the instru-
ment, as well as manage your files on the instrument, deleting and renaming as
needed.
For details on using Song Filer, refer to the electronic manual (PDF file) included with
the software.
Using downloaded songs with the Lesson and notation features
To use the Lesson features with songs you’ve downloaded, you’ll need to specify beforehand
which tracks are to be used as guides for the right- and left-hand parts. Do this from the R-part and
L-part pages in the FUNCTION display (page 79).
The guide tracks set here will also be displayed in music notation (page 25).
• Never attempt to turn the power off while transmitting data. Doing so will not only result in
failure to save the data, but also make the SmartMedia card memory unstable and result in
loss of all data in memory.
• Saved data in the instrument may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Make
sure to save any important data to the computer.
• It is strongly suggested that you use the AC adaptor when executing data transfer opera-
tions. Low battery power during data transfer could result in damage or loss of the data.
