USB TO DEVICE Terminal

instrument. It would let you save or load the registered settings and
user songs created on the instrument.
Easy Performance with Music Notation Display
When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown on the
display as the song plays. This is a great way to learn how to read
music. If the song contains lyric and chord data*, the lyrics and chords
will also appear on the score display. * No lyrics or chords will appear
on the display if the song you are using with the score display function
does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.

play ... simply select the appropriate style from the Music Database.
