Playing Songs; Midi Data - Yamaha PSR-E463 Owner's Manual

Playing Songs

This instrument can play Preset Songs, Songs you recorded on this instrument, or
commercially available Songs. In addition to listening to these Songs, you can play the
keyboard along with the Song as it plays back.

MIDI Data

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound
itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength—just
as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova,
etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small amount of data capacity in comparison to an
Audio song, and allows you to easily change aspects of the sound, such as Voices used, etc.
