Importing from a Standard MIDI File
You can import Standard MIDI Files and convert them to a Style.
Preparing the SMF file
The Import SMF function allows you to import MIDI data from a Standard
MIDI File (SMF) created on your preferred external sequencer, and transform
them in a Chord Variation. The Standard MIDI File to be imported must be
programmed as if it was one of Havian 30’s Chord Variations.
Importing Style Element / Chord Variation parameters
When importing an SMF, parameters like CV Length, Meter, Tempo Changes,
Program Changes and Expression are recognized. If the Initialize parameter
is selected, or the Style Element is empty, these parameters will be imported
in the Style Element containing the Chord Variation.
▪ The Chord Variation length is the same as the imported SMF. You can
change length by changing the value of the CV Length parameter in the
Style Record > Record 1 page.
▪ Key/Chord, Chord Table, Expression, and any other Style Element param-
eter, must be manually programmed in the relevant Style Record pages.
▪ The starting Tempo, and each track’s Volume, must be programmed as Style
Settings data, and then saved in the Style Settings.
▪ Meter (Time Signature) Change is not allowed, therefore not recognized.
