Loading drum patterns from the CD-R/RW drive (SMF Import)

You can import SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) stored on PC as song patterns. You can easily increase your collection of song patterns by creating SMFs on your computer or other device and copying them to memory cards.

Any SMFs that satisfy the following conditions can be played in this way.

Format:	0 or 1
File size:	240 KB maximum (Note that this will
	vary slightly based on the SMF content.)

When importing GM/GS/XG-compatible SMFs, MIDI Channel 10 is generally assigned as the channel used for rhythm performances. Thus, only the data on MIDI Channel 10 in the SMF is isolated and imported by the BR-900CD. Note that the data on other channels is disregarded.

1.Using a PC, burn a CD-R/RW disc containing the SMFs you want to import.

2.Insert this CD-R/RW disc into the BR-900CD’s CD-R/ RW drive.

The drive’s access indicator will begin to flash. Wait until this indicator stops flashing and turns off before proceeding.
