Importing a Standard MIDI File to a Style
Preparing a Standard MIDI File ‘separated by markers’
As an alternative to importing individual Chord Variations, you can convert
a Standard MIDI File ‘separated by markers’ into a Style. This is a single
Standard MIDI File containing all the Chord Variations and Style Elements
(Variation 1, Variation 2, etc.) each one separated by a marker (the same
events used in Song Play mode).
All the rules described in the section devoted to importing an individual
Chord Variation apply. Style Tracks and MIDI Channels must be matched as
in the previous table, as per KORG’s standard Style format definition. Tracks/
MIDI Channels other than the above mentioned are ignored during the im-
port procedure.
Importing a Standard MIDI File into a Style
1 Go to the Style/Pad Record > Import > Import SMF page.
2 Use the From Song parameter to choose a MID file to import. Touch the
Select button to open the file selector.
Only Standard MIDI Files in format 0 can be loaded.
3 Select the Initialize checkbox if you want all settings of the target Style
Element or Pad (like Key/Chord, Chord Table, Sounds…) to be reset when
loading the SMF.
When creating a new Style, we suggest to check the
Initialize checkbox. Do
not check it if the SMF you are loading was previously exported from a Style
to be edited; in this case, it is very important to keep all the previous settings.
