Loading a Standard MIDI File (SMF).
Insert the disk containing the SMF you wish to load.
The disk must be MS-DOS®, 3.5” format, 720K capac-
ity (DS-DD) or 1.44MB (HD).The SMF must have the
filename extension “.MID”.
It is also possible to read files in Yamaha “.DOC” for-
mat, with however some limitations. The sounds are
converted, where possible, into GM sounds. Given the
differences between the DOC and the GM standard,
some tracks may playback with programs and levels
that differ from the original ones.
Choose the SMF with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons.
The files will appear in the order in which they were
saved on disk. Press ENTER/YES twice to load the
selected file. Once the file has been loaded:
