9. Software Support

Hybrid models support both recording and playback (although a few models are playback only). The models var-
iously use floppy disks, flash memory, and CD-ROMs as their media (although CD recording is not supported).
They support MIDI data; and CD-drive models also support audio data. Supported MIDI formats are SMF (stan-
dard MIDI files) and E-Seq (Yamaha proprietary format). The following tables show the playback and recording
support provided by each model.
