Introduction

Overview of MIDI Song to Style

The MIDI Song to Style app automatically converts MIDI Songs (SMF: Standard Midi File; extension: .mid) into Style files (.sty),

allowing you to play the desired songs as Styles on the instrument.

You can also listen to and edit converted data by:

- Playing loaded MIDI Songs and changing Voice assignments for each channel.

- Listening to and editing converted Styles.

Precautions When Using the Application

• This application (hereinafter referred to as the “app”) anonymously collects function usage data for the purpose of improving

service quality and promoting related products and services. The actual data you are editing will not be collected. If you do not

wish to send the usage status, you can disable this from Settings (page 12).

• The main purpose of this app is to convert MIDI Songs into Style files and it is not designed to be used as a music player.

Please note that the following app’s preview functions only serve as support for editing, and full compatibility of audio playback,

etc. is not guaranteed.

- Playback of MIDI Songs

- Playback of converted Styles

• This app can be used only with models which are compatible with SFF GE format (such as Genos2).

Setting Up

Connections and Setting Up

This app can be used in two ways: either by connecting it to the instrument, or simply by using it standalone on a computer.



 Using the app by connecting the computer to the instrument

This method is recommended since it allows you to listen to the changes as they would actually be heard.

Connection example

For instructions on how to connect the computer to the instrument, refer to the corresponding owner’s manual.

What you can do when connecting to the instrument:

• Play back MIDI files with the sounds of the instrument.

• Listen to converted Styles with the sounds of the instrument.

• Save (transfer) the converted Style files directly to the instrument.

• Specify chords on the instrument’s keyboard while listening to the converted Styles.

Required settings:

Open [Preference] -> [MIDI Device] from the menu at the top of the app, and then set the port as follows.

•MIDI Input Device: Instrument’s MIDI Out

•MIDI Output Device: Instrument’s MIDI In

NOTE

When you specify chords from the instrument while listening on this app, make sure that the [ACMP] button on the instrument is off. (If

you use the instrument with the loaded converted Style files, turn on [ACMP] as usual.)

NOTE

Both Input and Output must be set to the instrument for proper file transfer.

• Save the converted Style file on the computer or transfer it to the instrument via a USB flash drive.

• Specify chords on the chord palette (page 13) in the app while listening to the converted Styles.

*1) The sounds will not be reproduced with full accuracy.

Required settings:

Open [Preference] -> [MIDI Device] from the menu at the top of the app, and then set the port as follows.

•MIDI Input Device: None (set this if you have a MIDI keyboard, etc.)

•MIDI Output Device: MIDI Song to Style Synth, as well as an audio device for actually producing sound

How to Use the App

Playing back (listening to) the converted Style

You can try out how the converted Style plays while specifying the chord.



 Playback of Styles

1. Click the icon for the Section you want to play.

The Section icon will be displayed as playing (highlighted) and the Section will be played in a loop.

In this example, Main B is being played.

Also, by default, the Chord Palette window (page 13) is automatically called up.

2. Control Style playback, such as changing Sections and specifying chords.

• If you click on another Section’s icon, that Section will be played.

• You can check the change in sound while specifying the chord from the Chord Palette window or the instrument that has

been set as the MIDI Input Device.

3. Click the icon of the currently playing Section to stop Style playback.

Determines the on/off setting for Section loop playback.

With the default settings of this app, each Section is played in a loop allowing you to check the contents of the Style. This

behavior differs from that of normal Style-equipped instruments. If you want to change the behavior of normally non-looped

Sections (Intro I to III, Fill In A to D, Break, and Ending I to III) so that they do not play in a loop, click the mark on the top

right of the icon. The display will change to (loop off) and those Sections will be played only once, and then resume playing

the Style—just as is common in Style-equipped digital keyboards.

How to Use the App



 Turning each Style Part on/off during playback

On the Home display (Edit), you can turn each Part on/off (mute).

Click on each Style Part name to turn on/off.

Parts that are turned off will be grayed out.

In this example, Chd1 and Chd2 are turned off.

How to Use the App

Saving and Transferring Converted Styles

After the file save dialog appears, enter a name and save it to the desired location.

When transferring data to the instrument, use a USB flash drive.

NOTE

If you want to cancel the save operation, click the icon again.

NOTE

[Save to Instrument] can only be used when the computer is connected with the instrument by a USB cable. For instructions, refer to

page 3.

How to Use the App

Changing Presets of Automatic Analysis

at the same pitch as the MIDI Song before conversion. Select the Section name you want to change at the top of the display, and

then click the “Section Key” area at the bottom of the display to set the value.
