Casio WK-3300, WK-3800, WK8000 Using the SMF Player

Using the SMF Player

The letters “SMF” stand for Standard MIDI File, which is a file format that allows MIDI data to be shared between different software and sequencers. There are actually three SMF formats, named SMF 0, SMF 1, and SMF 2. This keyboard supports the SMF 0 format, which is the one that is most widely used today, and so all mentions of “SMF data” in this manual refer to SMF 0 format data.

You can use your computer to transfer SMFs from the bundled CD-ROM to keyboard flash memory, or SMFs you have downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE. SMF format music data can be stored in the keyboard’s built-in Flash memory. Data stored in Flash memory can be played back using the SMF Player Mode. You can also load SMF data from an SD memory card or floppy diskette into the keyboard’s user area and then play it back using the SMF Player Mode. See “Saving Data” on page E-83 for details.

The follow shows the maximum number of files that can be stored on each type of media.

Flash Memory*1: 200 files*2

SD Memory Card: 255 files*2

Floppy Diskette (WK-3800 only): 112 (2DD diskette)*2 or 224 (2HD diskette) files*2

*1 Initially, your keyboard comes with three sample SMF tunes in memory.

003JESUS BLEIBET MEINE FREUDE

*2 Note that the number of files you can store in memory also depends on the size of each file. If your files are very large, you may be able to store fewer than the number of files indicated above.

IMPORTANT!

•Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable for any loss of data stored in Flash memory, or on an SD memory card or a floppy diskette (WK-3800 only).
