Music Files That the HP307 Can Use

 

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 the USB memory or CD-ROM, the song will be played exactly as specified by the 

data. This is different than an 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.

 

Use of the song data supplied with the CD-ROM 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.

Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially available SMF music files, 

such works may violate copyright law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment. Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright 

violation you may commit by creating such works.

 

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 (HP307) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES 

images.

* You can specify whether the recommended tones will be assigned 

 

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” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains the 

lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “

” logo are played back 

on a compatible device (one bearing the same logo), the lyrics will 

appear in its display.

The HP307 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).

 

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.
