Disklavier

I was advised by Yamaha when I bought my DC6A disklavier to get a
MIDI convertor such as the MIDIMAN

These are now antqiues ... I purchased a used one online for $80
via a music store in Montreal but I have not had the time to test
converting digital MIDI to analog MIDI.

We know it will work ... but I haven't had the time.

On Yamaha Pianosoft PlusAudio CD's the analog midi information is
on the
right channel.  You can easily hear this by inserting the Yamaha
CD in
your computer's CD-ROM and listening to the vocal/instrumental
parts on
the left  channel and the analog midi as a loud buzzing noise on
the
right channel.  The left channel's volume of course varies with
the
content while the right channel analog midi is at constant
volume.

I do not believe that the Yamaha Pianosoft PlusAudio CD's have
any midi
information other than the piano parts on the CD.  All other
music
including vocals and instrumental accompaniment) is from the
audio on
the CD -- not from midi instructions to the tone generator as on
ensemble disks.  I could be wrong about this but I believe that
the only
midi on these CD's is for the piano parts.

If one has a means of converting digital midi to analog midi (and
I do
not know how to do this) then there should be no problems making
one's
own CD's to play on the Mark III or the Mark II with the DCD1.
