The Genesys Ensemble can play both digital audio and MIDI
song files, (it can also be used to record both types but
that comes later!). MIDI songs, also known as Midifiles or
SMFs, (Standard Midi Files), have long been the most popu-
lar format for use with electronic keyboards. If you have
some SMF disks you can use the song player to play these
in the same way that you did for digital audio songs. GEM
for creating songs use an exclusive format which offers
much greater power that ordinary Midifiles; offering 32
tracks instead of 16, a much wider range of sounds effects
and some very special additional features.
