Compatible Format

GM System Level 1
"GM System Level 1" is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compati-
ble music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of
manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM
System Level.
XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater function-
ality and open-ended expandability for the future. The instrument is capable of displaying lyrics
when an XF file containing lyric data is played.
STYLE FILE
The Style File Format is Yamaha's original style file format which uses a unique conversion sys-
tem to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types.
XGlite
As its name implies, "XGlite" is a simplified version of Yamaha's high-quality XG tone genera-
tion format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. How-
ever, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due
to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
