STANDARD MIDI FILE - MIDI SONG FILE PLAY
The CD3000XL is able to load Standard MIDI Files (SMF’s) into its memory and play them as
standard MIDI sequence files. Of course, you cannot edit these sequence files but this
function allows you to use the CD3000XL as a sequence data filer so that, if you are playing live
and require backing tracks or whatever, you can do so without the inconvenience of taking
your sequencer with you. These functions are made available using the key. The SMF
function allows:
• Up to 50 MIDI files to be loaded simultaneously (a total of 300kB of data)
• Support of SMF files up to 999 bars per song (to a total of 300kB).
• Compatible with SMF formats 0 and 1.
NOTE: Please refer to the CD3000XL’s MIDI implementation chart to see what functions are
available when working with SMFs on MS-DOS format floppy disks (i.e. note on/off, control
change, etc..).
Pressing gives something like this screen:
The parameters are as follows:
This shows the name of the currently selected song. When
you have some songs loaded in the sampler, use the DATA
wheel to select them. If no songs are loaded, this field will be
blank.
This selects the bar the song will start at. You may use the
DATA wheel to set a range of 1-999.
This sets the bar the song will end at. Selection is made using
the DATA wheel
NOTE: Normally, these parameters are left unchanged.
This selects whether the tempo is set as per the MIDI file
loaded (i.e. FILE - as specified in the song data file) or will be
set to MANUAL. When set to MANUAL, the tempo of the
song is set in the field described below.
Here, you may set the tempo of the song manually (please
note that the field should be set to MANUAL for
any tempo changes to take place).
When the key is pressed, BAR and BEAT start
counting up elapsed bars and beats and the TEMPO field
shows the song’s tempo settings as set in the
or fields.
