Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices MIDI Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by PSR-2100/1100, and whether or not the PSR-2100/1100 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. • PSR-2100/1100 can record and playback with both types of floppy disks. • When formatted by the PSR-2100/1100, 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 PSR-2100/ 1100 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 PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1. • Song data recorded on the PSR-2100/1100 is automatically recorded as SMF Format 0. • Song data loaded to the PSR-2100/1100 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 PSR-2100/1100 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 PSR-2100/1100 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.

PSR-2100/1100

MIDI Data Compatibility

This section covers basic information on data

compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can

playback the data recorded by PSR-2100/1100, and

whether or not the PSR-2100/1100 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.

•

PSR-2100/1100 can record and playback with both

types of ﬂoppy disks.

•

When formatted by the PSR-2100/1100, 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 PSR-2100/

1100 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 PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with both Format 0

and Format 1.

•

Song data recorded on the PSR-2100/1100 is

automatically recorded as SMF Format 0.

•

Song data loaded to the PSR-2100/1100 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 PSR-2100/1100

series instruments.This is a common format used with

various Yamaha software.

■

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI

File) format with greater functionality and open-ended

expandability for the future.

•

The PSR-2100/1100 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.
