Creating an Arpeggio Style from a MIDI
File (Import)
You can create your own original arpeggio style by importing an
SMF (Standard MIDI File).
MEMO
• Before you import the SMF, use your computer to copy the SMF
to the root folder (top level) of your USB ash drive, or create a
folder on your USB ash drive and copy the SMF into that folder.
• Use only single-byte alphanumeric characters in the le name
and folder name.
• A maximum of 200 les can be recognized within a folder.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button, and press the ARPEGGIO
[LOWER] or ARPEGGIO [UPPER] button.
The Registration Common screen will appear.
2. In the REGISTRATION COMMON screen, press the [F2]
(ARP) button.
3. Select the import-destination user style (U001–U016).
4. Press the [F5] (IMPORT) button.
The ARPEGGIO STYLE IMPORT screen will appear.
Select the SMF.
5. Select the SMF that you want to import, and press the [F6]
(IMPORT) button.
The RENAME screen will appear.
6. Assign a name to the arpeggio style.
For details on how to assign a name, refer to “Assigning a Name”
(p. 34).
7. Press the [F6] (EXEC) button.
The screen will ask “Are you sure?”
8. Press the [F5] (OK) button.
The SMF will be imported into the style number you specied.
* Please note the following points when importing an arpeggio.
• Only SMF Format 0 data is supported. If the format is incorrect,
the screen will indicate “Cannot Import SMF Format 1!” or
“Incorrect File!”
• Only the following data will be imported into the arpeggio: note
messages, control change messages, channel pressure, and
pitch bend.
• A maximum of 500 note events can be imported, with on/o
counted as a single event.
In addition to note events, a total of up to 500 events of control
change messages, channel pressure, and pitch bend can be
imported. If you try to import more than the allowable number
of events, the message “Too Much Data!” will appear.
