Roland HPi-6 用户手册

 

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 HPi-6 from music files saved in external 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.

 

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.

“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-6 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.

 

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.”

 

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.
