Sounds like you could make the program, but not much of a need. Most probably use external tone generator. Im still experimenting, but really appreciate your input.

I have to see if other sequencers I have in studio might be able to save a template like this. Also, playing multi-channel MIDI files is not that crucial to me right now, just experimenting. Since I have the MU50 might try with hardware, but virtual sounds in computer are just as good if not better. >> >> Does anyone else play multi-channel MIDI files with older disklaviers that don't have GM sounds built in? >> >> Thanks Spencer, and anyone else in advance... >> >> >> Sam >> www.keyboardcollective.com >> (212) 684-3304 >> >> >> >> >> >> On Jan 19, 2014, at 12:47 AM, Spencer Chase <lists@...> wrote: >> >>> >>> i don't know what you mean by "every time i load a file" do you mean that you need to process each file separately? i can write a program that will batch process a folder of files and delay all non piano parts. if you know that the piano parts will always be on channel 0 1 and 2 and that you want to shift all other channels it would be pretty easy. if i have to make a graphical interface with a bunch of options it would probably be more than i would care to do for free. >>> >>> >>>> On 1/18/2014 8:53 PM, Skanter123 wrote: >>>> >>>> Yes Spencer, i have tried this in a sequencer by adding a 500ms delay to non- disklavier tracks, and it synced up fine. Problem is I have to do this every time i load a file.

This Disklavier does not have a MIDI Thru port. Instead, the MIDI Output port functions as either a MIDI Output for or a MIDI Thru part. In the latter case, a 500ms delay is applied. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> To use the MIDI Out port of a Mark II as a MIDI Thru port with a 500ms delay, change the MIDI Out setting from Keyboard Out to Delay Out. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Regards, >>>>>>> PianoBench >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> On Jan 17, 2014, at 3:07 AM, Skanter123 <skanter123@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> Send your MIDI data to your MPX100II MIDI In port.
