Page 13: Save
In this page you can save the song on disk as a Stand-
ard MIDI File (SMF). You can change the name of the
file in which the song will be saved. To save the song,
go to this page and press ENTER/YES twice.
For compatibility with the MS-DOS® conventions, the
filename can be up to 8 characters long + 3-character
extension (automatically added). Move the cursor
with the CURSOR buttons and modify the selected
character with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons (or the
DIAL). Press INS to insert a character at the cursor
location. Press DEL to delete the character at the cur-
sor location.
Format
[0, 1]
Format of the Standard MIDI File (SMF). In order to
playback the song in the Song Play mode of the iS35,
choose format 0, which will allow loading to take
place more quickly and will occupy no space in mem-
ory in the Song Play mode.
If two or more tracks are using the same MIDI channel
(for example, if you recorded the percussion instru-
ments onto different tracks, but with the same MIDI
channel), it would be better to save the data in format
1
to keep the tracks separate.
Format 0
All tracks are mixed in only one
track, which contains 16 MIDI chan-
nels. The MIDI channel data is kept
for each event. This format will allow
loading to take place more quickly in
the Song Play mode.
Format
1
The tracks are saved separately
within the file.
PB (Program bank, Bank Select conversion)
[NUM, KORG, SERI]
This parameter allows you to decide which Bank
Select number must be saved in the SMF.
NUM
The bank select will not be saved. If
you have used programs from banks
other than A and B (General MIDI
banks), the SMF may playback with
sounds that differ from the original
ones, except for channel 10 which
maintains the standard program
changes.
KORG
The bank select numbers that can be
used with Korg instruments will be
saved. Korg GM compatible instru-
ments will playback perfectly SMF
created with programs from A and B
banks, and will select the correct
drum kits. Some sounds may not play
at all on instruments from other man-
ufacturers.
SERI
The following bank select data will
be saved (bank=MSB, LSB):
AB=00,00 banks, CD=00,01 banks,
E=00,02 bank, F=00,03 bank,
Dr=00,04 bank.
