Yamaha XF Format
Cubase supports the Yamaha XF format. XF is an extension of the standard MIDI le format that
allows you to save song-specic data with a MIDI le of type 0.
When importing a MIDI le containing XF data, this data is placed in parts on separate tracks
called
XF Data, Chord Data, or SysEx Data. You can edit such a part in the List Editor to add or
change lyrics, for example.
IMPORTANT
Do not change the order of events within the XF data or the event data itself, unless you have a
lot of experience with XF data.
Cubase can also export XF data as part of a MIDI le of type 0. If you do not want to export the XF
data with the MIDI data, mute or delete the tracks containing the XF data.
MIDI Loops
In Cubase, you can import MIDI loops.
To import MIDI loops, use the MediaBay. MIDI loops have the le extension .midiloop.
