Saving a song (or pattern) in SMF format (Save As SMF)
Several limitations apply when you save a song in SMF format.
• The data is saved in SMF Format 1.
You cannot save data in SMF Format 0.
• Audio track data cannot be converted to SMF.
• MIDI channels assigned to the SMF-converted data are determined by the Output Assign parameter
and MIDI parameter for each track of the song.
MIDI channels are assigned as follows.
The Output Assign parameter value takes priority when assigning MIDI channels.
For example, if Output Assign is 2 and MIDI Output is A-5, channel 2 will be assigned. However, if Output
Assign is Off and MIDI Output is A-5, channel 5 will be assigned.
