Expanding the Selections in the SONGS Tunes

You can transfer up to five song data (about 80 kilobytes in total) from your computer to the keyboard as SONGS tunes 65 through 69. For SMF data you purchase or create, you need to use special conversion software, available at RadioShack web site (www.RadioShack.com), before transferring to the keyboard. Download the software along with information about its installation and use. While you visit our web site, browse through the pages so you can find the latest news about your keyboard and other musical instrument.

NOTE

•This keyboard supports SMF 0 format data.

•Voice Fingering Guide, on-screen fingering indicators, voice announcement of evaluation points, and the Practice Phrase function are not supported for commercially available SMF data.

General MIDI Tone

The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering sequence, the drum sound numbering sequence, the number of MIDI channels that can be used, and other general factors that determine the sound source configuration. Because of this, musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source can be played back using similar tones and identical nuances as the original, even when played on another manufacturers sound source.

This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it can be connected to a computer and used to play back General MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the Internet, or obtained from any other source.

NAVIGATE CHANNEL (Default: 4)

When messages are received from a computer for play on this keyboard, the navigate channel is the channel whose note data appears on the display. You can select one channel from 01 to 16 as the navigate channel. Since this setting lets you use the data on any channel of commercially available SMF data to light on the on-screen keyboard guide, you can analyze how different parts of an arrangement are played.
