Saving A User Song Or User Style - Yamaha PSR-S650 Owner's Manual

9. Using USB Flash Memory

Saving a User Song or User Style

This operation saves one of the User Songs (001–005)
as a SMF File (extension: mid), or one of the User
Styles as a Style File-formatted file (extension: sty).
What is 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.
