Smf Playback - Zoom MRS-1608 Operation Manual

Reference [MIDI]

SMF playback

You can select any SMF imported into a project and play it
as follows.
NOTE
• When playing an SMF, the rhythm section tempo will be
disregarded, and playback starts with the timing programmed
in the SMF. However, if a tempo change event is programmed
somewhere in the rhythm song, this tempo change will
become active. To use the SMF tempo throughout, you
should first select an empty rhythm song.
• If the time signature information of the SMF and the rhythm
section is different, the audio track position and SMF position
may be different when locating in measures/beats/ticks.
