About Standard MIDI Files
“Standard MIDI File” (SMF) is a standardized
data format which makes it possible for music
data to be exchanged among different
sequencers. Data stored in this format on
sequencers of different models can be played
back on this instrument, and vice versa. Note,
however, that Standard MIDI Files ensure the
compatibility of data such as NOTE data (key-
board performance data), VELOCITY (how hard
the keyboard is played), PROGRAM NUMBER
data (voice number data), etc. Because it does
not guarantee 100% faithful reproduction of re-
corded music which is replete with such data, it
may be necessary for you to adjust the settings
to your satisfaction.
• Only files with the “.MID” extension can be
loaded.
• Standard MIDI File FORMAT 1 can be loaded,
but not saved.
• This instrument’s SEQUENCER data can be
saved to a disk in Standard MIDI File (FOR-
MAT 0) and can be used by other equipment.

cially sold song disks directly from a disk. It’s fast
