*XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation that defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and the structure and type of effects, in addition to

the General MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone generation format. You can play back any XG music files using an XGlite tone generator. However,

keep in mind that some music files may play back differently compared to the original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

With the KF-7, you can use music files that carry any of these marks:
