Handling Recorded Songs with a USB
Storage Device
You can handle recorded songs (save, load, and delete) with a USB storage device. You can also for-

About Save and Load

Save
You can save three recorded songs in the instrument to the USB storage device as SMF
song files. These songs can be saved to a "container" (or "USB" file) in the USB storage
device. 100 containers are available — S00–S99.
Since the recorded songs are saved in SMF format, they can be played back on other
instruments.

different sequencers. User songs
