Music Files That the HP207 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. When the
performance data (music file) is sent by your computer or
similar device, the song will be played exactly as specified by
the data. 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 song data supplied with the CD-ROM attached to
this product 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 HP207 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 (HP207) 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 a compatible device (one
bearing the same logo), the lyrics will appear in its display.
The HP207 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
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.
