SAVING MIDI FILES

If you your Songs to play on instruments of other manufacturers, or on computers, you must save them as MIDI
Files on Ms-Dos or Atari format disks. PK7 saves format 0 MIDI Files.
To save General MIDI (GM) compatible MIDI Files, you must set the General MIDI parameter to ON (see the
MIDI/GENERAL chapter). Performance parameters are converted, in each track, to the corresponding MIDI
controllers (Bank Select MSB and LSB, Program Change, Volume, Pan, Control Change 91 and 93 for the
Effects).
If the Song also contains a Lyrics track, this is also converted into Lyric events, and the resulting file takes the
form of a Karaoke MidiFile.
All PK7 Songs saved as MIDI Files conform to the GMX format, to maintain compatibility with all instruments of
the PK, WK Series with an no-board Disk Drive.

SAVING SONG STYLES

Song Styles are saved to disk only by means of the "Save All" procedure, since this type of file utilizes several
different sections of the instrument at the same time.
