Song data structure
The following illustration shows the track structure of a Song. Songs are created by recording MIDI sequence data to individual
tracks and by setting tone generator related parameters (in Song Mixing).

Song Mixing
Even if you record your keyboard performance to a Song
track, the setup data (non-note events such as voice, pan,
volume) which for proper playback should be recorded at the
top of the Song will not be recorded to it. For this reason, the
setup data handled as Song Mixing settings should be stored
in the Song Mixing Store mode.
Because the Song Mixing is a collection of settings related to
the tone generator, it can be applied to the sequence data
transmitted from the external MIDI sequencer as well as this
synthesizer's Song playback.

When the Multi-Part Plug-in Board PLG100-XG has been installed,
Mixing of sixteen parts (17 - 32) can be set. Please note that the Multi-
part Plug-in Part (17 - 32) settings apply not to one individual Song but
to all 64 Songs.

Scene
A Song Scene is a "snapshot" of important settings, and
contains parameter settings such as transpose, tempo, and
track mute and the tone generator related parameters
controllable from the Knobs with the [PAN/SEND] or [TONE]
lamp turned on, and the Control Sliders. Five settings can be
registered to the [SF1] - [SF5] buttons for each Song.
Song Chain
This function allows songs to be "chained" together for
automatic sequential playback. The Song Chain can be created
and played back from the [SONG]
instrument allows you to create one Song Chain data.
