Music Files That the ATELIER 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 
ATELIER from music files saved in USB memory and CD-ROM, and 
played back without change as songs. 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.
 
Regarding Copyright
 
Use of the internal songs and audio files 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.
 
 
The ATELIER 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 (AT-75) 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 ATELIER come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
 
 
About the ATELIER Sound Generator
 
The ATELIER 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). 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.
 
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 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.
