To convert a MIDI file to a phrase data file
1. In the “(3) MIDI file list” find the MIDI file you want to convert.
2. Drag the file from the “(3) MIDI file list” to the “(4) Phrase data file list”.
The files you drag and drop are queued, and conversion processes are performed in sequence. Each time a process is
complete, the converted file will appear in the “(4) Phrase data file list”.
Changing Conversion Process Settings
■ To specify the channel to be converted
Use the “(5) Conversion channel selection box” to specify the channel within the MIDI file whose data you want to use when
converting to a phrase data file. Any data other than the selected channel is ignored.
■ To specify the conversion start point
Use the “(6) Conversion start point selection box” to specify from where the process should be performed when converting the
channel specified by the “(5) Conversion channel selection box”.
• Beginning of the Song
Converts starting from the beginning of the data.
• 1st Note
Converts starting from the first note.
• 1st Event
Converts starting from the first valid event.
• Selected Measure
Converts starting from the beginning of the measure specified by the “(7) Conversion start measure specification box”.
■ To specify the conversion end point
Use the “(8) Conversion end point selection box” to specify up to where the process should be performed when converting the
channel specified by the “(5) Conversion channel selection box”.
• End of the Song
Converts up to the end of the data.
• Last Event
Converts up to the last valid event.
• Selected Measure
Converts up to the end of the measure specified by the “(9) Conversion end measure specification box”.
• The phrase beat is the same as the beat of the conversion start point.
• If there is a change in the beat between the conversion start point and the conversion end point, conversion
continues to be performed using the beat of the conversion start point.
• The phrase length is a multiple of the measure length. If the conversion result ends within a measure, a blank is
appended up to the end of the measure.
