To playback SMF files:
1. Insert the Accessory Disk (FDD-1004) or any SMF disk into the disk drive.
2. Press the SONG PLAY button in the MODE section and press START/STOP. The
iS40 will play through all the SMF’s on the disk.
To play a particular song from the disk, use the TEMPO/VALUE buttons to select the
SMF you want and press START/STOP. You can even do this while an SMF is
playing.
* Note that these files are in Format 0 SMF, so they will playback immediately. If you need
to load a Format 1 SMF, the file will load first, and then play. If there is a backing
sequence or another song in memory previous to loading, the Display will prompt “OK to
erase B.Seq & Song Edit”. Press ENTER/YES to erase the data in internal memory and
load/playback the Format 1 SMF.
Working with the JukeBox Function:
With the JukeBox function, you can create a custom play list of songs contained on disk.
The songs will playback in the order you desire.
1. Insert the disk, then press the UP/+ button or DIAL to select the first song.
2. Press the ENTER/YES button to insert the song in the list.
3. Choose the second song with the UP/+ button or DIAL, then press ENTER/YES to
insert the song in the list.
4. Continue as above to finish creating the play list.
5. Press START/STOP to playback and stop the songs using the JukeBox function.
6. Press EXIT/NO to exit JukeBox mode.
Editing Standard MIDI files - Song Edit mode:
The iS40 will automatically convert a Format 0 SMF file to Format 1, so that you can freely
edit any of the tracks available. Once the song has been edited, you can save it as a SMF
in either Format 0 or 1.
For more information on editing SMF files, consult the manual pg. 33.
