Audio Record/Playback
(USB Memory)
The MP10 is also capable of recording performances (including LINE IN input audio) as digital audio - saving the data
to a USB memory device in either MP3 or WAV format. This useful function allows professional quality recordings to
be produced directly on the instrument - without the need for additional sound equipment - then emailed to band
members, listened to away from the instrument, or edited and remixed further using an audio workstation.
