Song Play mode
In Song Play mode you can read Standard MIDI Files
(SMF) directly from a floppy disk and play them. If
you simply want to play an SMF without editing it, it
will be convenient to select this mode.
When you turn off the power, the Song Play mode
parameters will be erased. If you want the pro-
grams, track parameters, and effect settings etc.
selected for the song to be saved as a Template
Song, use the “Save Template Song” utility menu
command to save them.

About SMF
SMF data in format 0 or format 1 can be played back in

This instrument recognizes only files with an extension

sion is .MID.
About MIDI
Track status settings in Song Play mode
You can select whether the musical data played by a
track, or the data produced by operating this instru-
ment’s keyboard and controllers will sound this instru-
ment’s internal tone generator, and/or will sound an
external tone generator.
When the “Status” of a track is set to INT, the data
played back by that track and the data produced by
operating the keyboard or controllers of this instru-
ment will play and control this instrument’s internal
tone generator.
When the “Status” of a track is set to EXT or BTH, the
data played back by that track and the data produced
by operating the keyboard or controllers of this instru-
ment will play and control an external tone generator.
(The MIDI channel of the external tone generator must
match the “MIDI channel” of this instrument track that
is set to EXT or BTH.) With a setting of BTH, the exter-
nal tone generator and this instrument’s own tone gen-
erator will be played and controlled simultaneously.

Synchronization with external devices
In Song Play mode, this instrument will be the master
(the controlling device) regardless of the MIDI Clock
setting (GLOBAL 2.1: MIDI, MIDI page “MIDI Clock”).
Mute/Solo function
The S.PLAY 1.1: Play, Program page “PLAY/MUTE”
and “SOLO On/Off” settings allow you to play or
mute each track 1–16 as desired, in the same way as in
Sequencer mode.
You can use these when you wish to mute the melody
track and play the part yourself on the keyboard
(“minus-one play”), or when you wish to audition a
track (☞p.75).
You can use the utility menu command “Solo Selected
Track” to audition only the currently selected track.
This provides a convenient way to hear the parameter
settings and effect settings of a track (☞PG p.116).
