This Reference Manual shows how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance to a specified channel or by entering notes one by one (called "Multi Recording") and how to improve an already created Song by editing the detailed parameters. Realtime Recording and Step Recording When creating a MIDI 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. 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.
