Importing a Standard MIDI File to a Chord
Variation
You can import Standard MIDI Files created on your preferred external se-
quencer, and transform them to a Chord Variation.
Preparing the MID file
The Standard MIDI File to be imported must be programmed as if it was one
of Pa1000’s Chord Variations. Here are the rules.
Importing Style Element / Chord Variation parameters
When importing an SMF, parameters like CV Length, Meter, Tempo Changes,
Program Changes and Expression are recognized.
▪ 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/Pad
Record > Main page.
▪ Key/Chord, Chord Table, Expression, and any other Style Element param-
eter, must be manually programmed in the relevant Style/Pad 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.
