Exporting a Style to a Standard MIDI File ‘separated by markers’
As an alternative to exporting single Chord Variations to individual Standard
MIDI Files, you can export a whole Style as an SMF separated by markers,
that is, a single SMF containing all the Chord Variations and Style Elements
(Variation 1, Variation 2, etc.) each one separated by a marker (the same
events used in Song Play mode).
1 Go to the Style/Pad Record > Import/Export > Export SMF page.
The (non editable) To Song parameter shows the name of the Standard MIDI
File that will be generated.
2 Keep the SHIFT button pressed and touch the Execute button to export it as
a Standard MIDI File. A standard file selector will appear. Select the target
device and directory, then touch Save. A dialog box will appear, letting you
assign a name to the file.
This operation will create, in the selected device, an SMF format 0 (Zero),
containing all the MIDI data included in the selected Style or Pad, with each
Chord Variation starting from a different marker (named as per the naming
convention explained in the Import section above).
Each Chord Variation will include, at the very beginning (tick 0), the following
informations:
▪ Time Signature
▪ Control Change bundle #00-32 (Bank Select MSB/LSB)
▪ Program Change
▪ Control Change #11 (Expression)
