Recording a MIDI song file

In addition to MP3 and WAV audio files, the CN39 digital piano is also capable of recording 16 track SMF (Standard
MIDI File) format songs directly to a USB memory device. This useful function allows multi-track performances to
be created one part at a time, without the need for additional recording devices.
