Long: Yamaha XG DEMO  Standard  MIDI   Files   (SMF)   both  file formats 0
and 1  All  files  have  been  edited  to  be  General  MIDI  (GM) Standard
compatible and contain SYSEX  data   for  GM  On  together with the correct
Contollers and PGM  parameters  for  the  Roland  GM  Standard.. These were
edited using Music-X V2.0 on an Amiga 2000HD,  5Mb RAM, 540Mb SCSI internal
HD and 730Mb external SCSI HD  and  then  converted  back to SMFs using the
Music-X-to-MIDI converter which comes bundled with Music-X V2.0.. A Korg i3
Interactive Music Workstation was used  for sequencing/re-configuring of GM
parameters within each Music-X/SMF  file..  Therefore,  the XG setup within
each file has been removed  and  General  MIDI (GM) specific parameters has
been implemented! A  Yamaha Corporation Copyright (c) message and  date has
been embedded within each SMF to respect the author/s of the original files
the original XG configured files didn`t possess this but this can only help
Yamaha, no.. Stored here in LHA archive format..

These SMFs should play  correctly  on any General MIDI (GM) or  GS synth or
Soundcard..

** SMF songs **
1. Bird of Paradise by Snowy White (was in Thin Lizzy)
2. Gat Kirwani (cool Indian peice with excellent percussion)
3. Swamp Thing by The Grid
4. Topsy (Jazz number)
