Music Files That the RG-1F/RG-3F Can Use
 
What Are Music Files?
 
Music files contains musical information such as how long the key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to the key 
played, and other such information. Performance data is transmitted to the RG-1F/RG-3F from music files saved in USB memory and 
played back without change as songs. This is different than a audio CD, since the music file does not contain a recording of the sound 
itself. This makes it possible to erase certain parts, or to change instruments, tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in many 
different ways.

The RG-1F/RG-3F allows you to use the following music files
VIMA TUNES 
 
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that 
contains image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs 
with lyrics and images simultaneously. 
When data bearing the “VIMA TUNES” logo is played back on 
a device that bears the same logo, lyrics can be shown on 
the screen of a connected external display or television, 
letting you enjoy karaoke or watch a slide show.
* This instrument (RG-1F/RG-3F) is not able to play back VIMA 
TUNES images and lyric data.
 
SMF Music Files
 
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music 
file that was formulated so that files containing music file 
could be widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer 
of the listening device. An enormous variety of music is 
available, whether it be for listening, for practicing musical 
instruments, for Karaoke, etc.
 
General MIDI 
 
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks 
to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary 
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound 
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music 
files that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General 
MIDI logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be 
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit 
to produce essentially the same musical performance.
 
General MIDI 2 
 
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations 
pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering 
enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater 
compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original 
General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to 
be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now 
been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have 
been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators 
are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry 
either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
 
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does 
not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General 
MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
 
GS Format 
 
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for 
standardizing the performance of sound generating devices.
In addition to including support for everything defined by 
the General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format 
additionally offers an expanded number of sounds, provides 
for the editing of sounds, and spells out many details for a 
wide range of extra features, including effects such as reverb 
and chorus. Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format 
can readily include new sounds and support new hardware 
features when they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible 
with the General MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of 
reliably playing back GM Scores equally as well as it performs 
GS music files (music files that have been created with the 
GS Format in mind). This product supports both the General 
MIDI 2 and the GS Format, and can be used to play back 
music files carrying either of these logos.
 
XGlite 
 
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that 
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and 
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General 
MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone 
generation format. You can play back any XG music files 
using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that 
some music files may play back differently compared to the 
original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters 
and effects.
