Working with Standard MIDI Files
Create Standard MIDI Files
The Songs you record on your WX can be saved in MIDI Standard File format, making
it possible to play your WX sequence data on other equipment regardless of the
manufacturer (provided that the equipment conforms to this MIDI standard).
The conversion is performed through the Save Single MIDI File option in the DISK
operations.
Refer to the DISK chapter (4), page 4-16 for information on how to Save Standard MIDI
Files.
Load Standard MIDI Files
WX can load sequence data from floppy disks regardless of the source equipment or
manufacturer (provided it conforms to this MIDI standard).
Refer to the DISK chapter 4 page 4-11 for information on how to Load Single MIDI Files.
General MIDI and Standard MIDI Files
If you want your saved Standard MIDI files to be converted in conformity with General
MIDI, you should set the GENERAL MIDI option to ON in the MIDI OTHER page.
This will convert all program changes on MIDI Channel 10 to GS or GM Standard
Drumkits.
The relative conversion table appears in the MIDI chapter on page 4-83.
If the GENERAL MIDI option remains OFF, your converted Standard MIDI File will
retain the original program changes on MIDI channel 10.
If you load a Standard MIDI File from floppy disk, the GENERAL MIDI option should
be ON if the file conforms to GENERAL MIDI, or to GS.
This will direct all program changes on MIDI Channel 10 to the WX Drumkits, as per
the conversion table referred to above.
In same cases, Standard MIDI Files “carry” a GM “Flag”. In such cases, the status of the
WX General MIDI option in the MIDI Other page will be irrelevant.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT
