Music Files That the FP-7 Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music files contains musical information such as how long the
key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to
the key played, and other such information. Performance data
is transmitted to the FP-7 from music files saved in USB
memory, and played back without change as songs. This is
different than a audio CD, since the music file does not
contain a recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible
to change tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in
many different ways.
Regarding Copyright
Use of the internal songs and audio files for any purpose other
than private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the
copyright holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data
must not be copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted
work without the permission of the copyright holder.
Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are
based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially
available SMF music files, such works may violate copyright
law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment.
Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright violation you
may commit by creating such works.
The FP-7 Allows You To Use the
Following Music Files
VIMA TUNES
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that
contains image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs
with lyrics and images simultaneously. When data bearing the
“VIMA TUNES” logo is played back on a device that bears
the same logo, lyrics can be shown on the screen of a
connected external display or television, letting you enjoy
karaoke or watch a slide show.
* This instrument (FP-7) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES
images.
SMF Music Files
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music
file that was formulated so that files containing music file could
be widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the
listening device. An enormous variety of music is available,
whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments,
for Karaoke, etc.
SMF with Lyrics
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that
contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with
Lyrics” logo are played back on the FP-7, the lyrics will appear
in its display.
General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files
that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI
logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to
produce essentially the same musical performance.
General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations
pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering
enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater
compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original
General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to
be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been
precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been
expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are
capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either
the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which
does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as
“General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General
MIDI 2.
GS Format
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for
standardizing the performance of sound generating devices.
In addition to including support for everything defined by the
General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format additionally
offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing
of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of
extra features, including effects such as reverb and chorus.
Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily
include new sounds and support new hardware features when
they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General
MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back
GM Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music
files that have been created with the GS Format in mind).
XG lite
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General
MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone
generation format. You can play back any XG music files
using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that
some music files may play back differently compared to the
original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and
effects.
