Thanks to everyone for all your feedback on this post, as always great forum with a lot of music professionals giving very helpful answers.

It's not really ' converting ' the MIDI file. It's essentially playing the MIDI file through the internal sound generator and recording the digital output back onto the USB stick.... but yes, it gets you an audio recording without needing a conventional audio interface. Does that mean if it records...

It's seems I can save the edited MIDI track in Logic as a format 1 MIDI file to a USB key, insert the key back to the P515s USB to device port, then convert the edited MIDI file to Audio inside the User memory of the P515 without the need for an audio interface external set up. In Logic Pro, select ...

Stage 3: Replay the edited MIDI data back out to the hardware piano. The MIDI is essentially replicating you, controlling the piano, but now without performance errors. Stage 4 record the audio outputs of the hardware piano back into the DAW so you have a final sound recording. Stage 3 and 4 obviou...

When you're finally ready to record the audio, just arm an audio track in the usual way, set to record from the inputs the piano's audio is coming in on. Does that mean either to disconnect the MIDI cable set up in exchange for an audio cable set up, then in Logic select bounce MIDI to audio? Or si...

If the Yamaha P515 has the ability to record MIDI, I could just connect a cable from it's USB to Host port in to the Mac, open Logic, launch a MIDI track and begin recording MIDI using the piano sound from the P515, when all editing is done, how would I then send the MIDI recording back to the P515 ...

Thanks for all your feedback on the soundtrack, I agree there could of been applied a more narrow field with the piano stereo image, which could of compensated for a better mix with the synth section. Still fairly new in production, but an exciting concept. Will return to the project, edit the mix a...

Whilst you can record a performance on the P515 as a MIDI 'song' you'll need to transfer it over to your computer on a USB drive (page 105). You can then bring it in to your DAW, edit it and export it back to a USB drive and load it onto the P515 again. You can then play the MIDI file and record th...

Error

That's not playing for me I'm afraid and if I try and download it I get an error message. I'd suggest a private link on SoundCloud or something similar. The YouTube version was excessive in its volume hence the reason for the distortion, the new version is better, that link should be good now. http...

Play the P515 whilst recording the MIDI output. Then edit the MIDI to correct any mistakes or things you feel could be better.* Then play back the MIDI through the P515 and record its audio output. You might need to drag the recorded audio slightly to make up for timing delays from the MIDI process...
