About Standard MIDI files

Standard MIDI files of popular music frequently consist of multiple instruments (bass, drums, organ, etc.). Typically, there is also a

 

track dedicated to the song’s melody. There are two types of Standard MIDI files:

4

 

Type 0 files - 1 track of MIDI data containing all the various instruments; each instrument assigned to different MIDI “channel.”

Type 1 files - each instrument has its own dedicated track and MIDI channel. Track/instrument names are embedded in the file as text information.

PC Composer’s interface interprets the multiple track information and allows you to choose the correct track or instrument.

Important: PC Suite supports Type 1 MIDI files only. PC Suite cannot display the necessary note and instrument data when opening Type 0 MIDI files. If you try to open a Type 0 file, no data is displayed.
