Re: [disklavier] COM-ESEQ Duration Problems

2001-10-23 by Robert E. Welcyng

Dear Hans,

Many of us in this group and in Yamaha's DUG, ponder deep issues such as, "How
do I dust the piano?"

The man you need to talk to is Gary Giebler at www.giebler.com or perhaps
giebler@...

He wrote the Giebler Utilities software that converts between E-SEQ and MIDI.

Wishing you success!
