The Basic Operations section covers how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance
(called “Realtime Recording”). This Advanced Features section shows how to create an original Song by entering
notes one by one (called “Step Recording”) and how to improve an 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.
This chapter primarily covers the instructions for Step Recording.

Song Data Structure
A Song consists of 16 MIDI channels. You can create data of a Song by recording your performance to a specific
channel or channels in realtime, or by executing the Step Recording.
