Disklavier

you can use MIDIOX with its associated MIDI YOKE to send midi from any 
software of hardware device on a PC to any other. you may have to shift 
the piano tracks by 500 ms in the file. this can be done in a sequencer. 
i probably have a program somewhere that i wrote that will do it or 
could write one if there is interest. i could probably stick the feature 
into my MIDIMOD 2 program but that is such a complicated mess and i have 
not worked on it in a while so ???
