Disklavier

A .fil file is a Yamaha MIDI file in ESEQ format that your computer can see. 
  If you were to take a regular Yamaha Pianosoft disk and put it into your 
computer, you would not be able to see any files.  If you used the free 
DKVutil program available from the vault, DKVcopy, the disk would not only 
have the copy protection scheme removed, but each song on the disk would be 
visible as a .fil file.  You could further use the DKVutil program, 
ESEQtoMID to convert these .fil files to standard MIDI files, .mid  Once you 
have your .mid file, you can stack them into play lists, edit the volume or 
print out the sheet music for the file.  Programs that do this are called 
sequencer programs and can be bought for as little as $29 for Pro Audio 
Tracks 7.0 from www.pgmusic.com.  Another program that is free on the 
DKVutil is Velocet for editing the volume of a MIDI file.
