USING PC EXCHANGE TO CONVERT SMF DATA
Most commercially available Standard MIDI File (SMF) song
files are saved in MS-DOS® format. You can use PC
Exchange™ to convert MS-DOS® format SMF song files so
that they can be recognized by the Macintosh.
1. In the control panel, open PC Exchange.
The PC Exchange control panel will appear.
2. Click the [Add...] button.
The [Specify application for DOS extension] window
will appear.
3. Input “MID” for the DOS extension item.
MS-DOS® uses a filename extension consisting of a
period and three characters to distinguish different
types of files. It is usual to assign an extension of “.MID”
to SMF files.
4. From the list that appears in the lower part of the dialog
box, select a MIDI application (sequencer) that can use
SMF data.
The icon selected for the application item will appear.
Now select a MIDI application (sequencer) that can use
SMF data, and that software will be able to open SMF
song files.
5. From the [Document type] popup menu choose
[MIDI] and click the [OK] button.
The item added to the PC Exchange™ window will be
displayed, and has been registered.
Now you can insert an MS-DOS® SMF disk into the disk
drive and use it as is.
For details refer to the explanation of “Macintosh PC
Exchange.”
