Recording your Performance

This instrument's recording function enables you to record your performance. Follow the steps below to record and
play back your performance.
Audio recording and data recording
Cassette tape recordings use a different data format than this instrument. Cassette tapes record audio signals. On the
other hand, this instrument records information about the notes and voices being played and about the timing and
tempo of those notes. It does not record audio signals. When you play back a recorded performance on this instru-
ment, its internal tone generator reproduces the sound according to the recorded information.
