PR-300S Features
Easy to Use

This makes recording and playback easy.
Five Track Sequencer
You can record and playback using any of five sequencer tracks.
GS Sound Source
The PR-300S has a built-in sound source that conforms to the GS

sources (keyboards or sound modules) that conform to the GS
Format will all play the same song data in the same way and
respond to the same MIDI messages in a uniform manner.
