Song playback

• You can't use the SMF/Audio File Player to play songs while also using USB audio/MIDI message input/output (p. 140).
• If you play back a demo song or SMF while editing a performance or patch, the contents of the temporary area will be
rewritten, causing your edits to be lost. If you want to keep your edited data, you must write it before you play back a demo
song or SMF data.
• Use the SonicCell in Performance mode when you're playing back SMF data.
• You can't execute the Write operation or use Utility functions (p. 182) while a song is playing back.
• The SonicCell can handle up to a maximum of 99 songs and playlists. (99 items in the root directory, and 99 items inside the
SonicCell folder. The Playlist Editor can also handle up to 99 playlists.)
