Singing with Song Playback—Setting Up
This section explains how to set up for your singing performance with Songs, using Song selection and Vocal
Harmony settings.
As is the case in Chapter 1, the settings made in this section can be collectively stored in the Registration Mem-
ory as one song setting (page 92).
Songs—MIDI Song and Audio Song
For Genos, “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data which include preset songs, commercially
available music files, etc. Not only can you playback a song and listen to it, but you can
also play the keyboard or sing along with Song playback.
There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument:
MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.
MIDI Song
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a record-
ing of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are
played, at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based on the
recorded performance information, the tone generator (of Genos, etc.) outputs the corre-
sponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as keyboard part
and Voice, you can play more effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular part
on or off, or changing Voices.
Audio Song
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the
same way as that used in recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. Audio
Songs can be played back on portable music players and many other devices, making it
easy for you to let others hear what you have played.
If you want to play back a Song in a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive contain-
ing Song data to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.
Setting Up Song Playback
Before using a USB flash drive, be sure
to read “Connecting USB Devices” on
page 111.
