Disklavier

Maybe they are using one channel (L/R?) which is an digitized analog signal that
contains the MIDI information.

In other words, it needs to be 'demodulated' kinda like a modem. Then the
digital information at that particular channel has the MIDI information. The
other channel has the digitized audio which is multiplexed with (L/R)
information that will be heard in the left and right speakers. This would
explain why someone mentioned the other day that they heard a buzzing signal
coming out of one speaker when played over a normal CD player. All this could
then be demodulated (MIDI) and de-multiplexed (audio) from the CD within the
electronics in the piano.

That type of CD could be easily copied with any 'working' CD copy software.

However, this type of CD would require a specialized electronic design to create
it...
