The soft key functions are:
NOTE: If you load a file that has the same name as a file that already exists in memory, the
existing file will be deleted and replaced with the new one.
USING THE SMF FUNCTION
To use SMF data on the S3200XL, follow the procedure below. One of the disks supplied with
the sampler contains a demo sequence - you can use this to check out the SMF functions.
1
First, load the sounds from the floppy disk supplied. This floppy contains a MULTI file for
sequencing for this demo disk. Load the sounds from the LOAD mode (insert the sound
data floppy disk and, assuming FLOPPY is selected in the LOAD page, press F7 - CLR -
and then F8 - GO. See the section LOAD for more details on loading sound data).
2
Now insert the DEMO SEQUENCE floppy disk into the disk drive.
3
In GLOBAL mode, press
get to the LOAD page for song files.
4
Select and load a MIDI song file from the file list. You can load as many files as you like as
long as there is enough memory space.
5
Once the files are loaded, press
file you wish to play and press
stop playback.
NOTE 1: SMF song playback can only be initiated within the MIDI SONG FILE page. However,
once the song is playing, you may go to other pages - for instance, you may go to MULTI mode
to change the program assignment as the song plays or to EFFECTS mode to select different
effect for the multi. You may even go to EDIT MULTI or EFFECTS EDIT to edit sounds and/or
effects. To stop playback, you must return to the MIDI SONG FILE PLAY page.
NOTE 2: Be careful to leave a bit of memory free for the SMF when loading sounds.
Cramming the memory full of sound data will leave no space for the SMF to be loaded.
NOTE 3: Due to certain restrictions when loading sounds from other manufacturer's CD-
ROMs, the area of memory used for SMFs is overwritten when another manufacturer's sound is
loaded from CD-ROM. In other words, any SMFs you may have loaded will be erased should
you load sounds from another manufacturer's CD-ROM.

This will take you back to the MIDI SONG PLAY screen where you may play the
songs you have loaded.
This will load the selected file into memory. If you try to load a file that is not a
standard MIDI file, the S3200XL will remind you with an error message:
to get to the MIDI SONG PLAY page and press
to return to the MIDI SONG PLAY page. Select the
