Disklavier

the site mentioned is yet another plug of the Disklavier World web site 
by Robert C. Kuhmann. he "gives credit" to his sources in a very general 
sense but has actually stolen files and removed the midi text events to 
hide the sources from whom he has stolen. the E-comp stuff is offered 
for free by Yamaha but i don't think they intended others to screw it up 
and distribute it on their own.

even if you are interested in stolen music, there is something very 
strange about every file i have tried to play. the files will not play 
well on a Disklavier if for no other reason that the in appropriate 
velocity range used. i downloaded one set of files today just to check 
to see if this was the same junk i had downloaded before and found many 
notes with velocities below 10 in the first file i played.

if you just want quantity and don't care much about quality, this may be 
the site for you. i sort of remember checking out the e-comp files at 
one time and although i am not entirely sure, i think i had found that 
they were screwed up in many ways as well.

i would be interested in hearing the opinions of other more critical DKV 
owners.
