Hi Larry,

The Audio to USB works much the same as on the Tyros2 (the difference is you can't overdub) , but unlike the T2, you don't need a HD...the data is stored on a Flashdrive.

You can record to the on-board MIDI recorder, and the finished song can be played back and recorded as CD quality audio to the flash drive...or you can record directly to the latter.

You can also connect a microphone or guitar to the mic/line input and enjoy recording a guitar and keyboard performance together, or record your singing along with song playback.

Gary Diamond mentioned another use a friend of his found for it...a quote from Gary...

"One of the neat things I recently discovered about a friend's S-900 was the ability to record vocal backing tracks. What an incredible feature. You can record the vocal harmony track for a song such as "In The Still Of The Night" by the Five Satins whilst recording the midi file, then provide the lead vocals and lead instrumentals live over the WAV recording--WOW! And, it can all be saved on the USB drive in a registration. "

I'm sure there will be more tricks.

Hope this helps.

Ian
