The Song mode features six songs — three demo songs that have been created
using the rich and dynamic sounds of the PortaTone, and three User songs to
which you can record your own performance.
The demo songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with
them on the keyboard.
The User songs are “empty” and cannot be played until something has been recorded to them. (For
instructions on recording your own songs, see page 79.)
