What is Music les?
Music data stores information describing a musical performance; e.g.,
which notes (which keys) were played for what duration and how
strongly. When this performance data is sent from the USB memory
or CD-ROM containing the music data, the HPi-7F will play the song
accordingly.
Since this data is not the sound itself (as on a music CD), you are free to
change the tempo and key, allowing you to use the data with a great
deal of exibility.
