Re: [disklavier] Upgrade Mark II to Mark III

2001-11-06 by Mark Wisner

So far, our Software Dept. has resisted the temptation to record anything other than piano MIDI data on the CD MIDI track.  So the contents of a PianoSoft Plus Audio are: 
one track has the MIDI data that triggers the Disklavier drive system (playing the keys) and the other track has everything else, recorded in a traditional audio CD format.
 
Sorry.  I am guilty of bad editing.  The above is my reply to the following which was posted earlier by another reader.

"The new CD player plays audio data at the same time you are playing MIDI 
data.  For example, when you hear Simon and Garfunkle singing Scarborough 
Fair, their singing is audio, but I believe the guitar and instrument sounds 
are MIDI.  If you were to press the L and R buttons, you would be cancelling 
the piano parts (and any other MIDI data on Channels 1 or 2) but not the 
singing.  On some CDs the orchestra is audio and some it is generated by 
MIDI data.  Perhaps PianoBench on this list can give you some information on 
Home Concert.. This may be more what you are looking for."
