Exporting a Song in SMF format
1.
Select a User song to export.
Select a User song to export by using the [SONG SELECT] and [–/NO][+/YES]
buttons.
2.
Select a song container in the device and export the
User song.
After making sure that the USB storage device is connected to the instrument,
press the
[FILE] button (the “SAVE/EXP.” indicator lights). Then, while holding
the [FILE] button, simultaneously press the [–/NO][+/YES] buttons to select a
container (S00-S99). After releasing the [FILE] button, “n y” (no/yes) appears in
the display. Press the [+/YES] button to export the songs. The exported song will
be converted to SMF format and automatically exported into the “USER FILES”
folder and named as “USERSONGxx.mid.”
Overwriting the song
If you select a container which contains an SMF song, three dots appear in the
display (ex., “S.0.0.”). If you do not want to overwrite the file, press the
[–/NO]
button when “n y (no or yes)” appears in the display and select another con-
tainer. If you want to overwrite the song, press the
[+/YES] button. After “n
-
y”
appears in the display again to confirm whether you wish to overwrite the file or
not, press the
[+/YES] button once more.
CAUTION
While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Export, Delete, Load and
Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connec-
tion: until the FILE LOAD LED flash stops), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT
remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either devices.
Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
3.
Exit from the file operation mode.
Press the [FILE] button several times to exit the file operation mode. (The FILE
indicators turn off.)
TERMINOLOGY
SMF (Standard MIDI File):
The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence for-
mats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number
of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence
data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence files allows you to exchange song data
between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the CLP-240 are exported as SMF Format 0.

Procedure
NOTE
About Export: See page 35.
NOTE
If the selected song has no data,
the song will not be exported (you
cannot select a container for SMF
songs — S00-S99). Confirm that
the selected song has data by
making sure that the indicator of
[RIGHT] or [LEFT] is turned on.
NOTE
If you move an SMF song from the
“USER FILES” folder using a com-
puter, the file type will be
changed — from a SMF song
(S00-S99) to an External song.
