Hey all, I've been getting a message when trying to import songs to the M50 that states "illegal SMF data". Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem?

Thanks,
Kevin

What format are the files you're trying to import ? Songs from another workstation ? General MIDI files ?

I've found on the Korg workstations if you try to open/import any alien file it will give you that message and it really means "I don't know what the hell this file is" Wink

Maybe you're trying to import a legitimate file type but the file got corrupted ?

Kfull77,

Ya, these guys are correct, you have a wrong file format. The first thing I did with my M50 was downloaded a bunch of .Midi files, loaded them into my M50, messed with changing the instruments, bla,bla,bla,,, and I learned a lot that way..

There are a lot (Probably MOST) of smart people on this board. They help when they can.

But if you want fast & good advice,,, read the manuals a little before posting questions that are simple to locate within the manuals (ya, the manuals contain a lot of pages, but they contain excellent information on everything IMO). And be sure to include enough info. so they/we can give you fast advice.
