What You Can Do With MIDI
What You Can Do With MIDI
Record your performance data (1–16 channels) using
the instrument’s auto accompaniment features on an
external sequencer (or computer with sequencer
software). After recording, edit the data with the
sequencer, then play it back on the instrument.
When you want to use the instrument as an XG-com-
patible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive part
for MIDI channels 1–16 to “SONG” in MIDI/USB 1 in
MIDI Receive (page 203).

MIDI Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data compati-
bility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback
the data recorded by CVP-409/407, and whether or not
the CVP-409/407 can playback commercially available
song data or song data created for other instruments or
on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data
characteristics, you may be able to play back the data
without any problem, or you may have to perform some
special operations before the data can be played back.
If you run into problems playing back data, please refer
to the information below.
Sequence Formats
Song data is recorded and stored in a variety of different
systems, referred to as “sequence formats.
Playback is only possible when the sequence format of
the Song data matches that of the MIDI device. The
CVP-409/407 is compatible with the following formats.
SMF (Standard MIDI file)
This is the most common sequence format. Standard
MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types:
Format 0 or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are compati-
ble with Format 0, and most commercially available
software is recorded as Format 0.
•The CVP-409/407 is compatible with both Format 0
and Format 1.
• Song data recorded on the CVP-409/407 is automati-
cally saved as SMF Format 0.
ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series
instruments. This is a common format used with various
Yamaha software.
•The CVP-409/407 is compatible with ESEQ.
XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard
MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-
ended expandability for the future. The instrument is
capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing
lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format
used for MIDI sequence files. The instrument is compat-
ible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data
using SMF Format 0.)
Style File
The Style File Format combines all of Yamaha’s auto
accompaniment know-how into a single unified format.
Voice Allocation Format
With MIDI, Voices are assigned to specific numbers,
called “program numbers.The numbering standard
(order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice
allocation format.
Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice
allocation format of the song data matches that of the
compatible MIDI device used for playback. The instru-
ment is compatible with the following formats.
n
Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above,
the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the
specifications of the devices and particular data recording meth-
ods.
GM System Level 1
This is one of the most common voice allocation for-
mats.
Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System
Level 1, as is most commercially available software.
GM System Level 2
“GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that
enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and
improves Song data compatibility. It provides for
increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded
voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1
format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to
provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater
expressive control over Voices and effects, and to
ensure compatibility of data well into the future.
Song data recorded on the CVP-409/407 using Voices
in the XG category is XG-compatible.
DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)
This voice allocation format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series
instruments.
GS
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation.
In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhance-
ment of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and
Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expres-
sive control over Voices and effects.
