contains a complete bank of 128 Internal normal
voices plus 2 Internal drum voices. Voice data is
offloaded to floppy disk in a complete Internal voice

Internal voice bank either all voices at once (includ-
ing drum voices) or one voice into a specific Internal
voice number (excluding Internal drum voices). If

into it, or you can load a single Internal voice into a
Song voice number.

particular operation from within the File Directory.

delineated by a period followed by a three-character
code, which appears after the file name in the File
Directory. File types are as follows:
ALL DATA (.A1A) - A W5/W7 All Data type data
file contains all data in the W5/W7 multi, including
the 16 songs (sequencer and/or multi data) plus
accompanying Song voice banks. All data is
offloaded from and loaded back into an internal
song bank (01 ~ 16) RAM.
1 SONG (.A1Q) - A W5/W7 1 Song type data file
contains one song (sequencer and/or multi data)
only. 1 Song data is offloaded from and loaded
back into an internal song bank (01 ~ 16) RAM.

Voice type data file contains one song (sequencer
and/or multi data) only, plus accompanying 128

ESEQ/SMF (.MID) - An SMF type data file
contains one song (sequencer and multi data) saved
in the Standard MIDI File Format. SMF type files
allow easy data exchange with instruments from
different makers that support the SMF standard.
SMF data is offloaded from and loaded back into an
internal song memory (01 ~ 16) RAM. (NOTE: The
W5/W7 can accept files which have been saved in
either SMF Format-0 or SMF Format-1. It can only
save in SMF Format-0.) An ESEQ type data file
contains one song saved in the Yamaha ESEQ format
(compatible with SY99, SY77, Piano Player and
Clavinova; however, the commercially available
music data disks for Piano Player and Clavinova
cannot be loaded). ESEQ files can be loaded into the
W5/W7; however, the W5/W7 cannot save files in
the ESEQ format.
