About Standard MIDI files
Standard MIDI files of popular music frequently consist of multiple instruments (bass, drums, organ, etc.). Typically, there is also a
track dedicated to the song's melody. There are two types of Standard MIDI files:
• Type 0 files - 1 track of MIDI data containing all the various instruments; each instrument assigned to different MIDI "channel."
• Type 1 files - each instrument has its own dedicated track and MIDI channel. Track/instrument names are embedded in the file
as text information.
PC Composer's interface interprets the multiple track information and allows you to choose the correct track or instrument.
Important: PC Suite supports Type 1 MIDI files only. PC Suite cannot display the necessary note and instrument data when
opening Type 0 MIDI files. If you try to open a Type 0 file, no data is displayed.
