Pauli,
Although I can't find it in the manual I'm almost certain it can read both types of files - I've never had a problem with any midi's.
Its not a big issue anyway because the files can be easily converted from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 with any number of freeware programs available (eg GNMIDI).
I would be inclined to get type 1 as they have info in all 16 tracks seperately and according to Wiki "the sequencers track structure is preserved". Type 0 have all the info in one track (but when you load it all the tracks will appear seperately anyway).
Best,
John
