then edit the recorded data on the computer or sequencer, and play it back using the
sounds of the PSR-270.

GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-
compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator,
regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products
that support GM System Level 1. The PSR-270 supports GM System Level 1.
When using a personal
computer, special
software (sequencer
software) is needed.
