Songs can be transferred (saved) to the instrument by using the included Musicsoft Downloader software. The songs are saved to an area of the internal memory separate from the area for recorded User songs. Up to 255 songs can be played back on this instrument (numbers 001-255). Sequence formats that can be played on the CLP-265GP • 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. NOTE You cannot select songs in Demo Song mode (page 15). 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 42) 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 45). NOTE Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. However, channels 3-16 of nonprotected External songs will be transmitted via the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selection setting (page 42). 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 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. 34 CLP-265GP Owner's Manual
