This information applies to the following products:
CLP311, CLP411, CLP511, CLP611, CLP811, CLP555, CLP820, CLP840, CLP860, CLP880, CLP920, CLP930, CLP950, CLP955, CLP970A, DJX, DJXII, EZ30, P80, P90, PSR225, PSR270, PSR280, PSR282, PSR310, PSR320, PSR330, PSR350, PSR410, PSR420, PSRD1, PSRGX76, YDP101S
The Song must be recorded live in real-time to an external sequencer (hardware or software). Real-time keyboard performance data is transmitted via the MIDI OUT port.
IMPORTANT: Internal Song data does not transmit via the MIDI OUT port as actual note data when it is played.
The Song data is saved (backed up) to an external sequencer using the 'Bulk Dump' feature that transmits and stores the Song data in a SysEx format. This format cannot be edited or played and sheet music cannot be printed from it. The Bulk Dump feature is for storage purposes only.
