Explanation
Either "Internal" song or "External" data is selected automatically depending on the song that you play back.
When you play back an internal song, the tone used for keyboard performance automatically changes to the tone of the
internal song. This is recommended when you play back an internal song or a song that you recorded on this piano.
Even when playing back external data, the tone used for keyboard performance can be specified independently of the tone
used to play the external data. This is recommended when you play back external data such as commercially available music
data.
Record your performance, and play it back on the piano.
You can also record each hand separately, and then listen to the combined performance of both hands.
Record as audio data.
Your recorded piano performance can be played back on your computer or audio player, or you can use it to make a CD.
