DATA FILER
7. RECORDING SONG
7.1 FOREWORD
As well as playing back songs in Standard MIDI File 0 and 1 format (see point 2.2), the
Genius is also able to record the MIDI events received on the MIDI IN port, made available
with the aid of an optional Joy-to-MIDI adapter (see section 4). Once recorded, these data
can be saved in the form of Standard MIDI Files both on a floppy disk and in the internal
memory.
Bear in mind that the instrument does not allow any over-recording (total or partial), so if you
wish to replace a recorded song you will have to delete the song in question and record
another.
