This section describes the basic operational procedures of the
FD-1.
Playing Back a Standard MIDI File
(SMF)
SMF (Standard MIDI format) is a standard file format that
makes MIDI data compatible with different sequencers and
musical. There are actually four different SMF formats, iden-
tified by the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3. The FD-! support SMF
Format 0, which is the one most compatible with the greatest
number of sequencers and available software. Most commer-
cially available MID] file data is SMF Format 0.
SMF compatibility also means you can play computer-creat-
ed data without converting it.
To play back an SMF
Press the FD-1 POWER button to turn on power.
Load the diskette that contains the SMF into the
FD-1.
Press one of the SONG SELECT buttons.
¢ The currently selected file name appears on the dis-
play.
Press the PLAY button to start playback.
