Playing Back a MIDI File
You can use the Digital Piano to directly playback a
MIDI file stored on an SD card. You also can copy
MIDI files to the Digital Piano’s built-in memory
(internal memory area) and play it back from there.
IMPORTANT!
• Your Digital Piano supports playback of Format0 and
Format1 SMF files and CM2 (CASIO proprietary)
format file. Playback of up to 17 tracks of a Format1
SMF file is supported.
• Playback of audio files (WAV, MP3, etc.) is not
supported.
