Quick Start

Playing along with SMF data (SMF Player mode)

Standard MIDI file is a format that allows performance data to be exchanged
between many different musical applications.
The RS-70 can playback commercially available General MIDI/General MIDI 2-
compatible standard MIDI files.
In this mode, you can directly play back an SMF file stored on a floppy disk without
having to load it into the RS-70.
This provides a simple way for you to enjoy

minus-one performance

—listening to

an accompaniment provided by music data, muting one of the recorded parts, and
playing the muted part yourself.
