Sequence formats that can be played on the CLP-240/230 • SMF (Standard MIDI File) Formats 0 and 1 The SMF 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. • ESEQ This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha's MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software. In the ESEQ files, only DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) files and Disklavier Piano Soft songs can be played back on this instrument. NOTE You cannot select songs in Demo Song mode (page 14) or during file operations (page 35). NOTE When playing back songs containing various voices or parts (such as XG or GM songs), the voices may not sound correct or as intended on the original. You may be able to remedy this and make the playback sound more natural or appropriate by changing the Song Channel Selection setting (page 51) to "1&2," so that only channels 1 and 2 will play back. NOTE If the song cannot be selected or loaded, you may need to change the Character Code setting (page 55). NOTE Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. However, channels 3-16 of DOC songs, Disklavier Piano Soft songs, and non-protected External songs will be transmitted via the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selection setting (page 51). NOTE Appropriate channels in the song will automatically be assigned to [RIGHT] and [LEFT]. Therefore, [RIGHT] may be assigned to a part other than channel 1, or [LEFT] to a part other than channel 2. NOTE For the USB storage device, folder directories on this instrument can be recognized up to two levels. However, the level is not displayed and song numbers 001-999 are displayed whichever level the song contains. NOTE If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will automatically stop when playback is stopped. NOTE If the REVERB type is changed via the panel controls during playback, both the playback and keyboard reverb effects will be changed. NOTE If the EFFECT type is changed via the panel controls during playback, the playback effect may be switched off in some cases. 40 CLP-240/230 Owner's Manual
