  2. Record audio via recording software. Alternatively, generate audio on ANN software through the sound card.
  3. Use the official ANN software to model and learn this audio for replication, and finally generate an AmXData file. (You can also upload the audio to the official community for training).
  4. AmXData files can be loaded and imported for use on the Pocket AMP.
