Loading bass patterns from the
CD-R/RW drive (SMF Import)
The BR-1200CD allows you to read Standard MIDI Files (or
SMFs) from CD-R/RW discs into user bass patterns and song
bass patterns.
Precautions for SMF import
●
CR-R/RW discs of ISO9660 Level 2, Mode 1 format are
supported for import. It will not be possible to import
data from discs of any other format.

be possible to import files that exceed this size limit.

Only the data with the corresponding MIDI channel will
be extracted from the selected SMF and imported as a
bass pattern.
In the case of SMFs supporting the GM, GS, or XG
standards, bass-type performance data is generally
assigned to MIDI channel 2. By setting the MIDI channel
to 2 in such a case, you can ensure that only the bass data
will be extracted from the SMF. (Note that bass-type data
will not necessarily be assigned to channel 2, and it will
be important to confirm the actual channel in advance.)
