Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data
compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can
playback the data recorded by PF-1000, and whether or
not the PF-1000 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.
Disk format
Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used
with various devices, including computers. Different
devices have different systems of storing data, therefore it
is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system
of the device being used.This operation is called
“formatting.
There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double
sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided,
high density), and each type has different formatting
systems.
PF-1000 can record and playback with both types of
floppy disks.
When formatted by the PF-1000, a 2DD disk stores up
to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores up to1.44
MB (megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and “1.44MB”
indicate the data memory capacity. They are also used
to indicate the format type of disk.)
Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be
used is compatible with the format of the disk.
Sequence Format
The system which records song data is called “sequence
format.
Playback is only possible when the sequence format of
the disk matches that of the MIDI device. The PF-1000 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
compatible with Format 0, and most commercially
available software is recorded as Format 0.
The PF-1000 is compatible with both Format 0 and
Format 1.
Song data recorded on the PF-1000 is automatically
recorded as SMF Format 0.
Song data loaded to the PF-1000 is automatically
saved as SMF Format 0 regardless of the original
format.
ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PF-1000 series
instruments.This is a common format used with various
Yamaha software.
XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI
File) format with greater functionality and open-ended
expandability for the future.
The PF-1000 is capable of displaying lyrics when an
XF file containing lyric data is played.
Style File
The Style File Format – SFF – is Yamaha’s original style file
format which uses a unique conversion system to provide
high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide
range of chord types.
