Recording Your Performance to MIDI

Recording Your Performance to MIDI

You can record your own performances and save them to the User tab display or a USB storage device. Several different recording methods are available:

Quick Recording which lets you record performance conveniently and quickly, Multi track Recording which lets you record several different parts to multiple channels, and Step Recording which lets you enter notes one by one. And since the recorded data is MIDI, you can easily edit your songs, too.

For details on MIDI, see page 174, “What is MIDI?”

Recording Methods
