Song ESEQ • ESEQ is a sequencer format developed by Yamaha that is used on many Yamaha products including digital musical instruments such as the QY300 and QS300, Clavinovas and piano players. ESEQ-compatible models can exchange sequence data via floppy disk. (If you plan to exchange data with another Yamaha product, we suggest that you use 2DD disks to ensure disk drive compatibility.) • Song ESEQ handles as a single file only the musical data of TR1 - TR16 and the tempo track from one song in Song mode. • Play Effect, Out Channel, Voice mode and Effect mode settings are not included in an ESEQ file. • Disks which are commercially available for use on the Clavinova or piano players are protected for reasons of copyright, and cannot be loaded into the QY700. About Disk mode 5. Song SMF • SMF (Standard MIDI File) is defined as a suggested format for MIDI musical data, and is a sequencer data format used by many musical instrument manufacturers and computer software companies. Devices that are Standard MIDI File compatible can exchange sequence data via floppy disk, etc. • Song SMF handles one Song mode file as a single file. • Play Effect, Out Channel, Voice mode and Effect mode settings are not included in an SMF file. • The QY700 can use the following two types of Standard MIDI Files. Format 0 This format combines data of two or more MIDI channels into a single track. This format can handle the musical data of QY700 Tr1 - Tr16 and the tempo track. If a song in which music is recorded on Tr1 - Tr32 is saved as format 0, all of the data in Tr17 - Tr32 will be mixed to Tr1 - Tr16 when it is saved. If your song uses tracks 17 and later, use the following format 1 to save it. Format 1 This format allows an unlimited number of tracks, and each track can contain data of multiple MIDI channels. This format can handle the musical data of all QY700 sequence tracks (Tr1 - Tr32) plus the tempo track. Format 1 was defined as an extension of format 0. This means that some SMF-compatible devices are able to handle only format 0, and cannot handle format 1. If compatibility is a concern, songs created with 16 or fewer tracks should be saved in format 0. 7 Chapter 7. DISK MODE 305
