Playing the keyboard along with Songs MIDI data and audio data contained in the USB flash memory can be played back as a "Song" on the MX49/ MX61. MIDI and audio data MIDI data 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 outputs the corresponding sound. Audio data, on the other hand, is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in recording with voice recorders, etc. This data can be played with a portable music player, etc., allowing you to easily let other people hear your performance.
