Loading rhythm patterns
from CD-R/RWs (SMF Import)
When using the BR-1180CD, you can copy (import) SMFs
(Standard MIDI Files) on CD-R/RW discs as user rhythm
patterns.
Copying SMFs created on a computer to CD-R/RW discs lets
you easily increase the number of user rhythm patterns.
* Use of the BR-1180 requires installation of the optional CDI-
BR-1 CD-R/RW drive.
1. Using your computer, write the SMF you want to
import to a CD-R/RW disc.
* The prescribed format for CD-R/RW discs is "ISO9660 Level
2 Mode 1." Note that you may be unable to import using other
formats.
* You can import SMFs (Standard MIDI File) with a maximum
file size of 240 KB. SMFs exceeding this limit cannot be
imported.
2. Insert the CD-R/RW disc containing the SMF into the
BR-1180CD's CD-R/RW drive.
3. When the CD-R/RW drive's indicator stops flashing
and goes out, press [DATA SAVE/LOAD].
4. Use [CURSOR] to select the "SMF " icon, then press
[ENTER].

Channel 10 is generally assigned as the channel used for
rhythm performances. Setting the MIDI channel to 10
here allows you to extract only the rhythm performance
data.
