Sound Development Manual / 1. Overview

■ Available MIDI commands

Among the events included in the Standard MIDI File, the events to be converted by the converter (launched from the sound simulator) are as follows. These will be converted without any degradation unless your preferences specify that you want to save Pitch Bend degraded.

Note on / off	Note Off is replaced by Gate Time.
Poly-Key Pressure
Control Change	(Note that Bank select must be at the beginning of each track.)
Program Change	Must be at the beginning of each track.
Channel Pressure Pitch Wheel Change	Supports both 7Bit and 14Bit expressions.
Meta Event	Only supports tempo.
System Message	It does not support Excusive, Start, Stop, or Song Position.

If the following conditions are not met, the converter will issue an error message and stop the conversion process.

Do not include System Message in the Standard MIDI File. System Message refers to Excusive, Start, Stop, Song Position Pointer, Song Select, etc.
The number of events contained in the standard MIDI file before conversion should be 6143 events or less per track. However, after conversion, Note Off will be absorbed by GateTime, resulting in a much smaller number of events. Similarly, the number of MetaEvents should be 256 or less. In addition, the length of one MetaEvent should not exceed 127 bytes.
Be sure to convert Standard MIDI File to Type # 1.
Only one loop start command (control change number 31) can exist on each track.
Be sure to set Bank Change and Program Change at the beginning of each track (this is not the case for empty tracks). A non-existent VOICE number or BANK number cannot be specified with Program Change or Bank Select.
