Playing back and recording songs
On this instrument, a “song” refers to data that can be used on the GO:KEYS.
There are two types of songs, “MIDI” and “audio”, each with their own characteristics.
MIDI songs are recordings of the performance data. This type of song lets you edit individual notes after you record, as well as change the
tempo or the sounds that are played back. The data is saved to this instrument.
Audio songs are recordings of what you play, just as you hear it. Audio song data is supported and can be played back on more devices
(computers, smartphones and so on) compared to MIDI song data. The data is saved to the USB ash drive.
