8 – MIDI

The MIDI module inside the 2488 is a GM-compati-
ble MIDI tone generator (TG) which can be used
either to play Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) or drum

patterns as a backing for the audio tracks recorded on
the 2488.

The instruments in the tone generator can be mixed
(volume, pan position, etc.)

Internal module mode

To change between the MIDI file playback mode and
pattern playback mode:

1

From the

SYNC/MIDI

menu, select and press

MIDI

PLAYER

.

2

Use the wheel to select either

SMF

(file player)

or

PATTERN

or

OFF

).

3

You can also turn

MIDI OUT

either

ON

or

OFF

.

NOTE

This allows you to use the 2488’s playback facilities to
drive external MIDI devices, whose audio outputs can
then be recorded through the audio inputs of the 2488.

SMF

The Standard MIDI File format provides a common
file format allowing MIDI songs to be transferred
between different sequencers and sequencing soft-
ware, etc.

These files may be transferred from a personal com-
puter attached to the 2488 via USB using the proce-
dure described in “USB import (SMF files)” on
page 68.

When an SMF is read from the FAT partition in this
way, it becomes the active SMF, as shown in the

SMF

PLAYER

screen, which is also used to load the SMF:

There is only one parameter that can be changed on
this screen, the

SPEED

, which is expressed as a per-

centage of the original speed (since an SMF can
include tempo changes, expressing this in BPM is not
very useful).

The screen shows how many bars (measures) are in
the SMF, and also the MIDI channels used by the
SMF (these are the numbers from

1

through

16

at the

bottom of the screen. Active MIDI channels are
shown in inverse.
