I am not proficient enough to accompany myself singing so I have to resort to using songs downloaded from the internet.
I find that in some cases they need tweeking to make them suitable.eg lowering the volume of drums and changing some of the voices.
This I have been able to do but am finding it impossible to Save the changes.
Can anyone assist me.

After going into the mixer and adjusting everything the way you like it you then need to go into the digital recorder song mode and tab over to song setup and first push execute which is on the left hand side of the screen. This saves your changes in the internal memory buffer on the PSR3000. Next you have to push save which you will se on the right side of the screen and choose where you want to save this changed song and the name you wish to save with it.
I hope this helps

Thank you George.
I have gone into Digital Song Creator Recording mode and unfortunately have not been able to locate the heading Song Set Up.
Am I missing a step.

How to change voices, volumes, etc in a recorded midi
(Tyros instructions, but 3000 is similar)

The following is true for Midi Type 0 songs only. Midi Type 1 files (commercial files are often of this type) will load and play, but cannot be edited. You must convert the midi to type 0 first. One easy way of doing this is to load the midi and then, in Song Creator, save it to a new file name.

The Mixing Console in Tyros can be used to change voices, effects etc of a midi file that is loaded (via depressing the Song button and then selecting a song) for playback, but it does not store any of these changes in the song itself.

To do that, you have to open the song in Song Creator (load for playback then DigitalRecording/Song Creator), depress Next to the Channel Tab, and button B to the fifth item, Setup. There you will see a list of items that can be recorded to the song any time that you depress the Execute button that is shown on the screen.

First, make sure that Voices, effects, etc are all checked, and then, while still in Song Creator, depress the Mixing Console button and make your changes. Depress TOP in the Song control area to ensure that the midi is at the beginning. Then use the Exit button to ‘back out’ of Mixing Console and return to Song Creator. Now depress the Execute button, and it should tell you that it is recording your changes.

Depress Save to save the edited song.

Thank you Michael for the details. I was at home and not at my store when giving the directions. Your steps are also correct for the PSR3000. The channel tab page is the correct page for finding the song set up feature.
Ken, just make sure that when you've pushed the "execute" button function that you also remember next to push the "save" function or else you have not saved the song for future playback. Execute only saves it in the temp area and when you turn off the keyboard the song will be gone.
