Short: XG Standard MIDI Files (SMF) format 0 and 1 TYPE Author: Yamaha Corporation/Edited by MIDICraft Uploader: craftbro midicraft demon co uk Type: mus/midi Architecture: m68k-amigaos file name: XGDEMSO0.lha requirements: Any XG compatible synth and an SMF player like MIDIPlay Long: Yamaha XG configured DEMO Standard MIDI Files (SMF) both file formats 0 and 1. These contain SYSEX data for GM On and additional SYSEX strings for the XG range of synths which is particular to themselves! XG Synths that is! * Key: 0 indicates a 0 (zero) format Standard MIDI File (SMF) 1 indicates a 1 (one) format Standard MIDI File (SMF) The SMFs in this archive will only play correctly on a Yamaha XG synth `cos they don`t play the correct GM drum kits on my Korg i3 which they should because the Korg i3 has a GM facility! ** SONGS ** 1. Bird of Paradise by Snowy White (was guitarist in Thin Lizzy) 2. Gat Kirwani (cool Indian Sitar/Tabla based percussion score) 3. Swamp Thing by The Grid (remember the dude with the banjo?) 4. Topsy (Cab Calloway Big band type Jazz Peice) The SMF files here have been edited in another archive which accompanies this XGDEMOS.lha and XGDEMOS.readme archive. Therefore, the SMF`s in the XGDEMOGM.lha archive should play correctly on GM/GS synths.. All copyright notices for Yamaha have been respected (the SMFs didn`t have a (c) notice actually but I`ve embedded one in each of the 4 SMFs anyway! That way you know who originally produced the files and that they were probably demo files accompanying a Yamaha manufactured synthersizer with XG MIDI facilities.. Making these SMFs available on the NET is not an infringment of copyright but simply a means of making these files available to a wider audience so other MIDI freaks can appreciate the professional quality of these MIDI arrangements.. If you`d like to play the edited GM/GS versions then look for XGDEMOGM.lha and the XGDEMOGM.readme that accompanies this archive.. Use Janne Syväniemi`s MIDIPlay 2.65b available in aminet/mus/midi its probably the best SMF player available on the Amiga! I think so anyway =:-) Please register with the author, you won`t be disappointed! Please feel free to e-mail me for information and help regarding MIDI on the Amiga, about the MIDICraft Magazine or just to let me know if you like these XG SMF files.. I`ll probably upload some more good Amiga Music-X/MIDI stuff on Aminet shortly, so look out for these files.. I`m a Music-X/SMF expert with my own recording studio using Amigas (A2000. A1200 and a A500+), I`ve also had an audio CD called "A Drop in the Ocean" released with my co-composer brother, where all music was sequenced using Amigas.. Some Amiga musicians/MIDI freaks on the NET may remember me from the AM/FM magazine which was published on floppy disk by Bjørn Lynne (Dr. Awesome) a couple of years ago. I used to write arcticles and produce MIDI music for AM/FM as one of The Craft Brothers.. I've taken AM/FM over and now publish a similar music based disk magazine called MIDICraft Magazine and I'm onto issue #11 already..
