Exporting A Song In Smf Format - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-230 Owner's Manual

Exporting a Song in SMF format

TERMINOLOGY
SMF (Standard MIDI File):
The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence for-
mats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number
of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence
data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence files allows you to exchange song data
between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the CLP-240 are exported as SMF Format 0.
