Music Files That the LX-10 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. When the performance 
data (music file) is sent by your computer or similar device, the 
song will be played exactly as specified by the data. 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 change 
tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in many different 
ways.

The LX-10 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 (LX-10) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES 
images.
 
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.
 
SMF with Lyrics 
 
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains 
the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with Lyrics” logo 
are played back on a compatible device (one bearing the same 
logo), the lyrics will appear in its display.
The LX-10 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
 
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).
 
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.
