Creating/Editing MIDI Songs (Song Creator) The Owner's Manual covers how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance (see instructions of Realtime Recording). This Reference Manual shows how to create an original Song by entering notes one by one (instructions of the Step Recording) and how to improve the already created Song by editing the detailed parameters. Realtime Recording and Step Recording When creating a Song, these two Recording methods are available. With Realtime Recording, this instrument records the performance data as it is played. With Step Recording, you can compose your performance by "writing" it down one event at a time. For instructions about the Realtime Recording, refer to the Owner's Manual. As the method of re-recording a specific part of a Song in realtime, you can use the Punch In/Out function (page 83). This chapter covers mainly the instructions of Step Recording. MIDI Song Data Structure A MIDI Song consists of 16 MIDI channels. You can create data of a MIDI Song by recording your performance to a specific channel or channels in realtime, or by executing Step Recording.
