About MIDI

Transferring data between the PSR-E313/YPT-310 and a computer

The PSR-E313/YPT-310 includes 102 preset Songs and 106 Styles, but you can load other Songs and Styles from your computer and use them in the same way as the preset Songs and Styles as long as the loaded Song is SMF format 0* or the loaded Style is SFF (Style File Format).

Loaded Song data will be stored to Song numbers beginning with 108 and one of the loaded style/s can be registered as the 107th style.

In order to perform the operations described in this section you will need to use a computer connected to the Internet to download the free Musicsoft Downloader application.

*The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used for storing sequence data. Most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0.
