Basic Principles
Making the SMF
Using Rhythm Converter
Using The Element Editor
Using The OTP Editor
The purpose of Rhythm Converter is to create a IDES-Keyboard
accompaniment pattern file (CKF), which can be loaded and played on the
keyboard. Rhythm Converter does this by combining a Standard Midi File
(SMF) containing the musical data of the accompaniment pattern, with the
essential control Parameters (PRA file) that make the pattern work.
1. Create the SMF
2. Open it in Rhythm Converter
3. Create the 'Parameters' in Rhythm Converter
4. Save the final result as a 'CKF' file
(The finished accompaniment pattern file)
Important Notes: The SMF can also contain the Parameters for the
accompaniment pattern, for example Tone selection,
Volume, Reverb, Chorus, Panning etc. Rhythm
Converter can then extract this data from the SMF to
create the Parameters for the final CKF file. More
about this in section
Making the SMF.
When you create your SMF you must follow the
guidelines in Making the SMF or your final pattern
may not work properly
A One Touch Preset can be created and included in
the accompaniment pattern using the OTP Editor
within the Rhythm Converter programe
