V. Editing Standard MIDI Files
What are Standard MIDI Files?
Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) are a specific file format for storing sequences. This format has been accepted by
almost all manufacturers and allows song files to be played back by a wide range of sequencers and instruments.
There are 2 formats for SMFs:
• SMF Type 0: All musical data is on one track. There is a second track for tempo and beat data.
• SMF Type 1: The musical data is saved on as many as 16 tracks with a 17
th
track for tempo and beat data.
What is General MIDI?
General MIDI is a standard developed to allow music to be created on one manufacturer’s instrument and to be
able to be played back on another manufacturer’s instrument easily. In order for an instrument to be “GM
compatible,” it must meet the following minimum specifications:
• 24-voice polyphonic
• 16-Part multitimbral
• 128 patches conforming to GM mapping ( i.e. 1=Piano 1, 17=Organ 1, etc.).
Roland has developed a format called GS which provides some additional flexibility in sounds and effects to the
GM specification. Standard MIDI Files that are developed for GM will playback correctly on GS instruments.
However, files that are developed for GS may not playback correctly on GM instruments.
