Over three-hundred factory styles each include intro, fill and ending variations and can be edited and stored in user memory locations. An enhanced Guitar Mode 2 provides realistic guitar parts, and an improved GM set for playing Standard MIDI Files.
Other features include an MP3 player with transpose and tempo change that is also compatible with popular lyric formats including graphical (+G), Text Viewer, and Score. Four stereo master effects feature well over one-hundred effect algorithms. A fully programmable SongBook database is based on styles, SMF, Karaoke and MP3 files with instant recall of any song setting.
