Standard MIDI Files and Sounds
Standard MIDI Files and Sounds
The native Song file format of Pa900 is the Standard MIDI File
(SMF), an universal standard set by all manufacturers. Filename
extension is .MID, but Pa900 can also read files with the .KAR
extension. You can read these files with any musical instrument
or computer.
Even if the Standard MIDI File format is standard, differences
may appear in sounds when playing the various files. If you
recorded a Song on the Pa900 in Sequencer mode using only
General MIDI sounds (i.e., those of the “GM” type), you can be
confident you can play the same Song on virtually any other
musical instrument or computer. If you used Korg native
sounds, you may not find the same sounds on instruments from
other manufacturers.
When you read Standard MIDI Files in Song Play mode, there is
no problem reading files made using only General MIDI sounds.
Sounds could be different when playing a Song made on a differ-
ent instrument: despite the wide compatibility of Pa900 with
other standards (like GS or XG), differences may arise.
Should this happen, load the Standard MIDI File in Sequencer
mode, then manually reassign the non-matching Sounds, replac-
ing them with similar Sounds on the Pa900. Finally, save the
Standard MIDI File again, and you will be able to play it in Song
Play mode with the correct Sounds.
Keyboard, Pad and Player tracks
Pa900 is equipped with a double player. Each Song can play up to
a maximum of 16 Song tracks, for a total of 32 tracks. In addi-
tion, you can play the keyboard with four additional Keyboard
tracks (Upper 1-3 and Lower).
When the Volume panel is shown in the main page of the Song
Play mode (see illustration below), you can adjust the Volume
and Play/Mute status of these tracks, but please keep in mind
that these changes will not be saved in the Standard MIDI File.
While in Song Play mode, you can select Performances or STSs.
STSs are from the latest selected Style; choose a different Style to
select a different set of STSs. You can see the name of the avail-
able STSs when the STS Name panel is shown in the main page
of the Song Play mode (see illustration):
Selecting a different Style or SongBook Entry may also change
the Pads.
When entering Song Play mode from the Style Play mode, Key-
board and Pad tracks remain the same they were in Style Play
mode.
