User manual ROLAND KR-377 V1.00 MIDI IMPLEMENTATION

[. . . ] · GS Format g Roland developed the GS Format to standardize the response of sound generators when MIDI is used for the production of music. By using a GS Format sound generating device, you can be assured that you will always hear a faithful, high-quality rendition of any commercially available music data that carries the GS Format logo. The KR-37777's tone generator fully supports both the General MIDI system and GS Format so you can use music data that is designed for either standard. Reads and writes SMF Music Data The KR-37777 is capable of playing Standard MIDI Files such as "SMF Music Data" (720 KB/1. 44 MB format 3. 5 inch floppy disks).

Note: It is also possible to keep the Composer from deactivating the Record Standby mode whenever you stop recording. See "Recording Mode" on page 35. Note: If the internal memory of your KR-37777 already contains a song, you will be unable to select songs from a disk. If that is what you want to do, first save your song to another disk (see page 33), then erase the song in the KR-37777's internal memory (see "Erasing the Composer song" on page 32). Alternatively, press <OK> in response to the message "User Song will be erased. Are you sure?" Note: Remember that there is only one DSP effect. That is why it is impossible to use different DSP types for different tracks. What is a track? On devices like tape recorders, sounds that are played back through the left and right speakers are recorded onto separate places on tape. These places are called "tracks". As you see, your KR-37777 provides five tracks in Normal mode, i. e. five places where MIDI messages can be recorded. Press the button of the track you want to fix. The track button's indicator and the [PLAY] indicator will flash. ENGLISH 3. Two measures of count-in will sound, after which recording will begin. Play the correct (or desired) version of the part. Press the [STOP] or [RESET] button when you're done. Notes about correcting mistakes · If the re-recorded bit is shorter than the original track, all notes that lie beyond the point where you stopped recording will remain. To erase the entire track, see "Erase: removing data from a track or song" on page 39 and go back to step (1). · There is no need to start at the beginning of the song. Use the [BWD] and [FWD] buttons to call up the measure where you want to start recording, and press the [REC] button. Press the [PLAY] button, and recording will begin after two measures of count-in. · It is also possible to add (overdub) additional notes to a track without erasing what you have previously recorded. See "Recording Mode" on page 35 for details. ENGLISH 6. [. . . ] Box 62, Doha, QATAR TEL: 4423-554 Paul Bothner (PTY) Ltd. 17 Werdmuller Centre, Main Road, Claremont 7708 SOUTH AFRICA P. O.
