Songs transferred from a computer (including commercially available songs and
songs which have been edited on a computer). 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 con-
taining 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. How-
ever, channels 3-16 of non-
protected 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 metro-
nome 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.
