How a song is organized

Each song consists of initial settings with which the song begins, and the playback data of the
song itself.
The 16 sequence data tracks, the audio tracks of the hard disk recorder, the control tracks for the
hard disk recorder, and the master track are also organized into initial settings and the playback
data.
The audio tracks are available only if the HDR-TRI option is installed.
