About MIDI Transferring Song files to and from a connected computer Even though this instrument has 100 preset songs, you can also transmit Song files from your computer to this instrument's Flash memory. Since the area in Flash memory is shared between User songs (U01-O05) and loaded songs, you may need to erase some User songs to load the data. Files of SMF format 0 that you've loaded to the instrument can be played. For details about how to transmit the data using the Musicsoft Downloader application, refer to the Online help topic "Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument (for unprotected data)" of the Musicsoft Downloader. * The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats 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. ■ Installing Musicsoft Downloader You can download the "Musicsoft Downloader" application from the following website.
