About Standard MIDI Files
“Standard MIDI File” (SMF) is a standardized
data format which makes it possible for music
data to be exchanged among different sequenc-
ers. Data stored in this format on sequencers of
different models can be played back on this
instrument, and vice versa. Note, however, that
Standard MIDI Files ensure the compatibility of
data such as NOTE data (keyboard performance
data), VELOCITY (how hard the keyboard is
played), PROGRAM NUMBER data (voice num-
ber data), etc. Because it does not guarantee
100% faithful reproduction of recorded music
which is replete with such data, it may be neces-
sary for you to adjust the settings to your satis-
faction.
• Only files with the “.MID” extension can be
loaded.
• Standard MIDI File FORMAT 1 can be loaded,
but not saved.
• This instrument’s
SEQUENCER
data can be
saved to a disk in Standard MIDI File (FOR-
MAT 0) and can be used by other equipment.
Playback of commercial song disks
DIRECT PLAY lets you enjoy playing commer-
cially sold song disks directly from a disk. It’s fast
because you don’t have to load the disk data into
your instrument’s memory.
• DIRECT PLAY is possible from the following
disks:
* All product and company names are trademarks or
registered trademarks of their respective owners.
* DISK ORCHESTRA COLLECTION is a trademark of
the YAMAHA Corporation.

SMF with LYRICS
SMF with LYRICS is a format in which character
information that is included with the MIDI data,
such as karaoke lyrics, can be displayed. This
instrument supports this format, making it possi-
ble to view the lyrics on the display while a per-
formance is played back.
