What you can do
“Play back SMF music files”
You can use the floppy disk drive to play back commercially available
music files, and enjoy a wide variety of songs.
“Preventing the Sounds on a Specific Track from Playing”
You can temporarily mute the sounds on specific tracks.
This allows you to practice with the left or right part muted.
“Record your own performances”
You can record the music that you play. You can also record your
performances while playing rhythms or automatic accompaniment.
“Play back recorded performances”
You can play back recorded performance data and check out how you
sound.
“Save recorded performances on floppy disk”
Any music you record will be discarded as soon as you turn off the
power on the AT-5. However, by saving your performance data on a
floppy disk, you can go ahead and switch off the power, and you’ll still
be able to load the performance data from floppy disk afterwards and
enjoy hearing it again.
“Record a performance along with SMF music files”
While playing back SMF music files, you can add your own
performance and record it.
