About Recording and Song Files

Performance operations carried out on the TENORI-ON can be recorded in 
real time and saved to an SD Memory Card as a Song File.
Song Files contain all operations carried out from the time recording 
is begun until it is ended: LED button operations, functions button 
operations, and [CLEAR] button operations are all recorded in real time. 
A recorded Song File can then be loaded into the TENORI-ON and played 
back, precisely reproducing the entire performance as it occurred.
