MIDI Sequence Recording

Although the PSR-330 features a built-in "sequencer" (the SONG recorder is a type
of sequencer), the same type of musical information transfer described above can be
used for more sophisticated MIDI sequence recording using an external sequencer or
music computer. A MIDI sequence recorder or music computer can be used to
"record" MIDI data received from a PSR-330, for example. When the recorded data
is played back, the PSR-330 automatically "plays" the recorded performance in
precise detail.
