3 Songs - Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs - The Tyros4 not only lets you play back commercially available MIDI songs, but also allows you to create your original songs by recording your performance. The recorded performance is made up of 16 parts (channels)-Keyboard parts, Multi Pad parts and Style Playback parts as shown below-and saved as a MIDI song. This chapter explains how to quickly and easily record your performance as a MIDI song, and shows you how to play back MIDI songs on the instrument.
