Music Files That the ATELIER Can Use
Appendices
Music Files That the ATELIER Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music files contains musical information such as how long the key for
a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to the key played,
and other such information. Performance data is transmitted to the
ATELIER from music files saved in USB memory and CD-ROM, and
played back without change as songs. This is different than a audio
CD, since the music file does not contain a recording of the sound
itself. This makes it possible to change tempos and keys freely,
allowing you to use it in many different ways.
Regarding Copyright
Use of the internal songs and audio files for any purpose other than
private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright
holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be
copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without the
permission of the copyright holder.
Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are based on
existing copyrighted material, such as commercially available SMF
music files, such works may violate copyright law if used for any
purpose other than personal enjoyment. Roland takes no responsibility
for any copyright violation you may commit by creating such works.
The ATELIER Allows You To Use the
Following Music Files
VIMA TUNES
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that contains
image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs with lyrics and
images simultaneously. When data bearing the “VIMA TUNES” logo
is played back on a device that bears the same logo, lyrics can be
shown on the screen of a connected external display or television,
letting you enjoy karaoke or watch a slide show.
SMF Music Files
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file that
was formulated so that files containing music file could be widely
compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the listening device. An
enormous variety of music is available, whether it be for listening, for
practicing musical instruments, for Karaoke, etc.
SMF with Lyrics
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains the
lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with Lyrics” logo are
played back on a compatible device (one bearing the same logo), the
lyrics will appear in its display.
The ATELIER come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
About the ATELIER Sound Generator
The ATELIER come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide
a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and
standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound
generating devices and music files that meets the General MIDI
standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music files bearing the
General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI
sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical
performance.
General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up
where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive
capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that were not
covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such as how
sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have
now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have
been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are
capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either the
General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not
include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General MIDI 1” as
a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
GS Format
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the
performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including
support for everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly
compatible GS Format additionally offers an expanded number of
sounds, provides for the editing of sounds, and spells out many details
for a wide range of extra features, including effects such as reverb
and chorus. Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can
readily include new sounds and support new hardware features when
they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General MIDI,
Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back GM Scores
equally as well as it performs GS music files (music files that have
been created with the GS Format in mind). This product supports both
the General MIDI 2 and the GS Format, and can be used to play back
music data carrying either of these logos.
XGlite
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that defines
the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and the structure
and type of effects, in addition to the General MIDI specification.
XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone generation format. You can
play back any XG music files using an XGlite tone generator.
However, keep in mind that some music files may play back differently
compared to the original files, due to the reduced set of control
parameters and effects.
