How well will midi files play on the PSR/Tyros?
How well a midi plays depends on which sound device they were made on or for. 1) “General Midi” midi files will play, but they will not use the better XG or “panel” voices. 2) Midis developed for sound cards such as Sound Blaster and other sound cards with special voice banks will not play properly. The midi Bank Select Events often specify voices which to not exist on the PSRs and which are not translated when the midi is loaded. 3) Midis made for XG sound sources will play properly 4) Midis made on some Yamaha synths (e.g. Tyros) will not play properly since the voices used may not exist on you instrument. The program MidiPlayer will process almost all midis and convert them for use with your choice of panel or XG voices. Back to top….
