Creating bass patterns
Section 4
Rev0.02
Loading bass patterns from the
CD-R/RW drive (SMF Import)
The BR-1200CD allows you to read Standard MIDI Files (or
SMFs) from CD-R/RW discs into user bass patterns and song
bass patterns.
Precautions for SMF import
● CR-R/RW discs of ISO9660 Level 2, Mode 1 format are
supported for import. It will not be possible to import
data from discs of any other format.
● SMFs of up to 240 KB in size may be imported. It will not
be possible to import files that exceed this size limit.

1. Using a PC, burn a CD-R/RW disc containing the SMFs
you want to import.
2. Insert this CD-R/RW disc into the BR-1200CD’s CD-R/
RW drive.
The drive’s access indicator will begin to flash. Wait until
this indicator stops flashing and turns off before
proceeding.
3. Press CD-R/RW [DATA SAVE/LOAD].
The Data CD screen will appear.

5. Press [F1] (IMPORT).
The SMF Import screen will appear, displaying a list of
the SMFs contained on the CD-R/RW.

If files are grouped into different folders on the current
CD-R/RW, the folder names will be displayed together
with the folder icon ( ). To view the list of files within
a folder, move the cursor to the corresponding cursor
name and press [ENTER/YES].
6. Move the cursor to the SMF to be imported and press
[F4] (SELECT).
The import setting screen will appear.

dial to select “BASS.”

8. Move the cursor to “MIDI Ch.” and select a MIDI
channel for the SMF to be imported using the TIME/
VALUE dial.
fig.04-1060d
Only the data with the corresponding MIDI channel will
be extracted from the selected SMF and imported as a
bass pattern.
In the case of SMFs supporting the GM, GS, or XG
standards, bass-type performance data is generally
assigned to MIDI channel 2. By setting the MIDI channel
to 2 in such a case, you can ensure that only the bass data
will be extracted from the SMF. (Note that bass-type data
will not necessarily be assigned to channel 2, and it will
be important to confirm the actual channel in advance.)
