SD Sound is another name for Midi.(Boy, I remember, it took me a while to get that through my head) By saving as a Midi, the files can play on practically any keyboard or computer, being that it is a universal format for all.

Saving in Technics Format on the 7000, will only play on the KN7000

Another advantage of saving your Midi files as SD Sound, you can use the Controls on the Chrome Console under that cool blue light.

And... I'm pretty sure that SD Sound (midis)files take up less space on your SD Card then Technics formatted files.

Now... the above comments apply only if you start out with a midi file. If you Easy Record a Sequence, I don't see any reason to save as a SD Sound (midi)

Another words, what I do is: Generally If it starts out as a Technics file, I save as a Technics file. If it starts out as a midi file, I save as a Midi file(SD Sound)...unless..I want to include that midi file(SD Sound) in with a folder that contains Technics formatted files, then I would save that midi file, as a Technics File.

I'm sure there are other advantages for saving Midis as SD Sound, rather then Technics, maybe some other members would want to comment.
