NOTE: Controller, program and note commands of the Standard MIDI File format (GM) are
internationally standardized. If you prefer using specific KORG outboard effect processors or the
additional Programs in banks C and D as well as the convenient user interface of the song format
which is provided on the main page of the sequencer, you can store any Standard MIDI File in the
song format of your i2/i3 HD as well. This results in shorter loading times of the processor and allows
you to create song chains of any length (please refer to "4. Function NEXT SONG").
2. Function "LOAD STANDARD MIDI FILE"
Select "LOAD STANDARD MIDI FILE" on page 2 of DISK mode. Press cursor position key A and use
the VALUE dial or the DOWN/UP keys to choose between the floppy disk drive and hard disk
partitions. Then use cursor position key B or C to call up the desired Standard MIDI File.
Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) can be selected alphabetically as well as numerically (song location
number):
If you are used to assigning the songs of your repertoire to fixed memory locations on your mass
storage device (hard disk), you can do the same with the hard disk of your i2/i3. Simply load the
Standard MIDI Files one after another in the desired order. The memory locations (file numbers) will be
kept unchanged until you delete the files.
SELECTING SMFs NUMERICALLY
Select the hard disk partition and use cursor position key B or C to call up the corresponding directory
(table of contents).
To select Standard MIDI Files numerically, hold down cusor position key E and use the
Arrangement/Style keys (DATA ENTRY keys) to enter the desired file number (see ill. 4).
