MIDI Songs
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a
recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which
keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical score.
Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the
instrument, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small
amount of data capacity in comparison to an Audio song, and allows you to easily
change aspects of the sound, such as Voices used, etc.
