PSR-I500 Owner's Manual
Saving a User Song as SMF to a
USB Flash Drive
A User Song can be converted to SMF (Standard
MIDI File) format 0 and saved to a USB flash drive.
SMF (Standard MIDI File) format
With this format, various events via the keyboard perfor-
mance such as note on/off and Voice selection will be
recorded as MIDI data. The SMF Format 0 and Format
1 are available. A large number of MIDI devices are
compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially
available Song files (MIDI files) are provided in SMF For-
mat 0.
NOTE
• If the size of a converted SMF is too large, it cannot be played
back on this instrument. We recommend using Audio record-
ing.
• The DSP effect (page 23) cannot be converted to SMF for-
mat.
• The Transpose setting on this instrument is not included in the
data.
