Playing Smf Data (Song Play) - Roland Fantom XR Owner's Manual

Playing SMF data (Song Play)

The Fantom-XR can consecutively play back Standard MIDI File
(SMF) data (filename extension .MID) stored in user memory or a
memory card.
When you play back a standard MIDI file, we recommend that
you use the sound generator in Performance mode. In
Performance mode, up to sixteen different sounds can be
played separately by the sixteen parts, making this mode ideal
for playing songs that are multi-instrument ensembles of
drums, bass, piano, etc.
