MIDI Song Recording/Editing

Overview of MIDI Song Recording

The Owner's Manual covers how to create an original MIDI Song by recording your keyboard performance without
specifying channels (called "Quick Recording"). This Reference Manual shows how to create an original Song by
recording your keyboard performance to a specified channel or by entering notes one by one (called "Multi
Recording") and how to improve an already created Song by editing the detailed parameters.
 Realtime Recording and Step Recording
When creating a MIDI Song, these two Recording methods are available. With Realtime Recording, this instrument
records the performance data as it is played. With Step Recording, you can compose your performance by "writing" it
down one event at a time.
 MIDI Song Data Structure
A MIDI Song consists of 16 MIDI channels. You can create data of a MIDI Song by recording your performance to a
specific channel or channels in realtime, or by executing the Step Recording.
