Roland HPi-5 Manual Do Proprietário

 

Music Files contain information describing the details of a musical 

performance, such as “the C3 key on a keyboard was pressed for this 

amount of time, using this amount of force.”By inserting the floppy 

disk into the disk drive on the HPi-5, the performance information is 

sent from the floppy disk to the piano, and played faithfully by the 

piano. This is different than a 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.

 

Use of the song data supplied with the Data Disk attached to this 

product for any purpose other than private, personal enjoyment 

without the permission of the copyright holder is prohibited by law. 

Additionally, this data must not be copied, nor used in a secondary 

copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder.

Roland Digital Piano Compatible Music Files

Roland’s original music file is made specifically for practicing the 

piano. Some follow an instructional curriculum, allowing for a 

complete range of lessons, such as “practicing each hand 

separately” or “listening to only the accompaniment.”

SMF Music Files (720KB/1.44MB format)

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.

If you wish to purchase SMF Music Files, please consult the 

retailer where you purchased your HPi-5.

 

“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 HPi-5 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.

 

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.

 

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. 

 

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 data carrying either of these logos.

 

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.
