USB Flash Drive Operations
Saving User Songs as SMF to USB
Flash Drive
A User Song can be converted to SMF (Standard
MIDI File) format 0 and saved to a USB flash drive.
NOTE
• If the size of a converted SMF is too large, such as a User
Song recorded with Groove data, it cannot be played back on
this instrument. If this occurs, we recommend using Audio
recording.
• The DSP effect cannot be converted to SMF format.
• The Transpose setting on this instrument is not included in the
data.
