Whenever they are not saved in the SMF, Program Change, Con-
trol Change 00, 11 and 32, can be still programmed in Style
Record mode, by using the edit features available.
Warning: Pa600 can only handle SMF format 0 (Zero). If you are
in trouble importing your file, maybe your sequencer (or DAW) is
exporting using a different format. Please refer to the software’s
user’s manual.
The naming structure for the Markers inside the SMF is
“EnCVn”, whose single components are shown in the following
table:
Warning: It is mandatory not to use capital letters in Marker
names. Some examples of valid names:
‘i1cv2’ = Intro1 – Chord Variation 2
‘v4cv3’ = Variation 4 – Chord Variation 3
Examples of non accepted names:
‘V1cv2’, ‘v1CV2’, ‘intro i1cv2’, ‘v1cv1 chorus’
The order of the Chord Variations inside the SMF is not relevant.
They can be freely placed inside the SMF.
At the end of this page you can find a screenshot of a test file cre-
ated in Steinberg Cubase, just as an example of how a
SMF sepa-
rated by Markers can look like. Considering analogies between
actual workstations, it will not look much different in other
applications like Logic, Digital Performer, Pro Tools or Sonar.
Export SMF
The Export SMF function allows you to export a Chord Varia-
tion as a Standard MIDI File (SMF), and edit it on your preferred
external sequencer.
To Song
This (non editable) parameter shows the name of the Standard
MIDI File to be generated. The (automatically assigned) name
will be the same of the exported Chord Variation.
From E/CV
Use this pop-up menu to select one of the available Chord Varia-
tions from the current Style.
Execute
After selecting a Chord Variation, touch this button to export it
as a Standard MIDI File. A standard file selector will appear.
Select the target device and directory, then touch Save. After you
touch Save, a dialog box appears, letting you assign a name to the
file.
