Displaying the Song Score

This instrument is capable of display the scores of songs.

Scores are displayed for the 30 internal preset songs as well as songs stored in SmartMedia or flash memory.

And although user songs you record yourself cannot display a score as is, they can be converted to SMF (Standard MIDI File) format and stored to SmartMedia memory, from where they can be played with score display.
