Playing Back an SMF
SMF (standard MIDI file) is a data format that makes it possible to
port MIDI data between sequencers and synthesizers of different type
and brand. There are actually three different SMF formats, named 0,
1, and 2. This keyboard supports SMF Format 0, which is the most
common. Most synthesizers, sequencers, and commercially available
pre-recorded software and MIDI files use SMF Format 0.
The built in disk drive of the WK-1800 lets you play back files created
with a personal computer or other device and saved to diskette.
To play a specific file from diskette
1.
Insert the diskette that contains the file into the key-
board’s disk drive.
• The diskette labeled “WK1800 ACCESSORY DISK” that
comes with the keyboard contains files you can use for this
procedure.
2.
Press the DISK button.
• This causes the indicator lamp above the DISK button to light,
which indicates the SMF Play Mode.
• At this time the name of one of the files contained on the
diskette appears on the display.
3.
Use [+] and [–] to select the file you want to play.
4.
Press the START/STOP button to start play of the file
whose name is flashing on the display.
5.
To stop file play, press START/STOP again.
• File play also stops automatically when the end of the file is
reached.
