Standard MIDI Files
This format is not able to provide a totally faithful
reproduction of the performance on this instrument
in the way that this instruments own format does
(although there will be no problem for normal play-
back), but does provide compatibility with other
SMF-compatible devices.
To load song data from oppy disk or save song data to
oppy disk, use Disk mode. (p.40, p.93)
Memory Protect
Before you record a track or pattern, or edit the musical
data, you will need to turn off the memory protect set-
ting in Global mode. (p.38)
The Compare function
When you perform realtime recording, step recording,
or track editing, this function allows you make before-
and-after comparisons. (p.15)
If you continue editing when the [COMPARE] key
LED is lit, the LED will go dark. That musical data
will now be the data that is selected when the
[COMPARE] key LED is dark.

About MIDI
Synchronizing the sequencer with an external MIDI
device
The record/playback tempo of this instruments
sequencer can be synchronized to an external MIDI
device such as a sequencer or rhythm machine
(PG p.253).
Track status status
You can make settings for this instruments sequencer
to specify whether it will sound the internal tone gen-
erator or an external tone generator.
When Track Status Status (3.1: Param1, MIDI..8,
MIDI..16) is set to INT, operating this instruments key-
board and controllers will sound and control this
instruments own tone generator.
When Track Status is set to EXT, EX2 or BTH, operat-
ing this instruments keyboard and controllers will
sound and control the external tone generator. (The
MIDI channel of the external tone generator must
match the MIDI Channel of the track that is set to
EXT, EX2 or BTH.) With a setting of BTH, both the
external tone generator and this instruments tone gen-
erator will sound and be controlled.
If you wish to use the Sequencer mode of the instru-
ment as a 16-track multi-timbral tone generator, select
INT or BTH. (Status PG p.82)
