ENGLISH Handling Songs with a USB Storage Device (CLP-240) Exporting a Song in SMF format TERMINOLOGY SMF (Standard MIDI File): The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence files allows you to exchange song data between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the CLP-240 are exported as SMF Format 0. 1 23 1 2 MIN MAX MASTER VOLUME DEMO ON TRANSPOSE REC LEFT RIGHT STOP PLAY/PAUSE USB USER PRESET SAVE/EXP. LOAD FORMAT/DEL.

Select a User song to export. Select a User song to export by using the [SONG SELECT] and [-/NO][+/YES] buttons. 2. Select a song container in the device and export the User song. After making sure that the USB storage device is connected to the instrument, press the [FILE] button (the "SAVE/EXP." indicator lights). Then, while holding the [FILE] button, simultaneously press the [-/NO][+/YES] buttons to select a container (S00-S99). After releasing the [FILE] button, "n y" (no/yes) appears in the display. Press the [+/YES] button to export the songs. The exported song will be converted to SMF format and automatically exported into the "USER FILES" folder and named as "USERSONGxx.mid." Overwriting the song If you select a container which contains an SMF song, three dots appear in the display (ex., "S.0.0."). If you do not want to overwrite the file, press the [-/NO] button when "n y (no or yes)" appears in the display and select another container. If you want to overwrite the song, press the [+/YES] button. After "n-y" appears in the display again to confirm whether you wish to overwrite the file or not, press the [+/YES] button once more. CAUTION While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Export, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection: until the FILE LOAD LED flash stops), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either devices. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices. NOTE About Export: See page 35. NOTE If the selected song has no data, the song will not be exported (you cannot select a container for SMF songs - S00-S99). Confirm that the selected song has data by making sure that the indicator of [RIGHT] or [LEFT] is turned on. NOTE If you move an SMF song from the "USER FILES" folder using a computer, the file type will be changed - from a SMF song (S00-S99) to an External song. 3. Exit from the file operation mode. Press the [FILE] button several times to exit the file operation mode. (The FILE indicators turn off.) CLP-240/230 Owner's Manual 37
