What is an SMF?
The SMF (Standard MIDI File) is a type of file used to exchange song data between different
sequencers. There are two types of SMF: Format 0 and Format 1.
•
Format 0 :
All data for all MIDI channels are combined into a single track. Files in this
format can be played back on the CS6x/CS6R/S80 etc...
•
Format 1 :
There is more than one track, each containing data for multiple MIDI channels.
Therefore, you shoud use the SMF converter in the Card Filer program to convert your Format
1 SMF data to Format 0 before transfer to, and playback on, your MIDI instrument.
1. Open the “SMF Convert” window.
Click [SMF Convert].
The “SMF Convert” window will open.
