DGX-505/305  Owner’s Manual

You can record up to 5 of your own performances and save them as user 
songs 031 through 035. Once your performances have been saved as user 
songs, they can be converted to SMF (Standard MID File) format files and 
saved to SmartMedia memory (page 76) and used with score display. So 
when inspiration strikes and you create a great melody, you can save it in 
both listenable and written score form. You can also record performances 
using the performance assistant technology.

■ Recordable Data
