Hi Cass,
from what I gather , it's SONG PLAY MODE you require for midifiles

I think the SONG button has more to do with your own song recordings.

page 14 explains what song play mode does.

page 33 goes into more detail.

I think you load the midifiles from your card.

Sorry can't be of more help, I don't own one, & it's a different procedure to my pa800/pa3x.

What's the difference between the Song and Song Play buttons? I haven't been able to load a song from the SONG button. None of my SMFs have numbers. I keep getting the LOAD, then EXIT sign. Also, can't load two files into A & B sequencers. I can load songs from SONG PLAY, but it's nothing as quick as Yammy or Roland. AND, where the hell are these extra performance tracks? All I've been able to do is edit a channel and play it live, but that's not right.

Style playing is pretty straightforward, no real problems.Tell me how to do this stuff, refer me to a page number. Email me, FB message me, call me (734-285-1170), just help me get past this plateau so I can enjoy my Micro to its fullest.
