“Load MIDI File” Loads a Song memorised by a Sequencer in a standard interchange
format, otherwise called the MIDI File.
The disk from which your WX reads MIDI Files, (or to which it saves MIDI Files), must
be one “initialised” by an Atari ST/STE/TT computer, or by a computer that works with
the MS-DOS operating system. Apple Macintosh files must be copied to a disk formatted
with Apple File Exchange™, AccessPC™ or other similar “utilities”. The disk can be
a 3.5” DD or 3.5” HD type.
5.1 Press ENTER:
The directory of the Atari/MS-DOS disk appears which may consist of several
items as well as some MIDI Files, which are identified by the “.MID” extension

:
5.2 Select the MIDI File to load as well as the destination to Memory:
5.3 Press ENTER twice:
5.4 The display updates to the new situation:
The internal Directory will show the converted MIDI File as a Bank/Song, but you
can change its name using “Name” in the Sequencer Edit section.
More about MIDI Files in the Edit MIDI and SEQUENCER chapter.
IMPORTANT
If the Standard MIDI
File conforms to GM
Standards, the
GENERAL MIDI
function in the third
page of Edit MIDI
should be set to ON to
direct all program
changes on MIDI
Channel 10 to the WX
Drumkits.
NOTE 1:
You can isolate all the
MIDI files by pressing
F8 - this masks all files
present on Disk except
MIDI files and
facilitates the selection
of the required file.
