ProV-Midifiles (structure/description)

A ProV-Midifile is distinguished mainly by the fact that a Arranged Vocalist Track (AVH) is integrated on Channel 16, which contains the vocals harmonies (VH). This is what the "V" means. Otherwise, it corresponds to the sound formats and adaptations of a Pro-Midifile.
