for
mances as MIDI Songs –
The Owner’s Manual covers how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance (called
“Realtime Recording”). This Reference Manual 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.

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 the Step Recording.

Song Creator Display Structure
The Song Creator can be called up via [CREATOR]
