Deleting the Backing
Sequences
If you don’t mind losing the backing sequence and
you need space in memory, you can delete it. The
backing sequences use up space in memory, taking it
away from other data (e.g. songs in Song Edit, other
backing sequences).
1 Press B.SEQ to enter the Backing Sequence
mode.
2 Press PAGE [+] repeatedly to get to “Page 3:
Erase Backing Sequence” in the Backing
Sequence mode.

sequence from memory.
4 Press EXIT/NO to go back to the first page of
the Backing Sequence mode.
The Songs
What are the Songs?
The songs are musical pieces with sixteen tracks that
can be saved on disk in the form of Standard MIDI File
(SMF). There are two operative modes dedicated to the
songs: the first one is used to read the songs live (Song
Play) and the second one is used to create new songs
or edit the existing songs (Song Edit).
Unlike the backing sequences, the songs are made up
of completely free tracks that cannot be created with
the arrangements. You can however convert a backing
sequence into a standard song (see “Page 18: SMF con-
verter” on page 105).
The i40M is compatible with most of the songs found
on the market. You can convert songs created with the
computer sequencer into songs that can be read by the
i40M, and vice versa.
Recording a song
In the Song Edit mode you can record a new song
freely and save it on disk as a Standard MIDI File
(SMF).
1 Press SONG EDIT to enter the Song Edit mode.
