\ufffdGood morning, everyone.
Spencer, the early model Disklaviers (Wagon Grand, MX100A&B, and MX80 series) uses a file format called E-SEQ. The Disklavier implementation of that format put the piano note data on channels 1 and 2 along with on/off pedal data and incremental pedal data on channel 3. The separation of on/off pedal data from incremental pedal data made sense. The Wagon Grand supported incremental pedal data but the MX100A&B and MX80 series Disklaviers did not.
(NOTE: Channels 1 and 2 were both used if the recording was a left-hand/right-hand recording in which the LH was assigned to channel 1 and the RH to channel 2. If the hands were not split in the recording or editing process, all of the note data was placed on channel 1.)
Starting with the Mark II, all Disklaviers have supported incremental pedal data. The Mark II still recorded in E-SEQ format but it could play Type 0 Standard MIDI Files. Starting with the Mark IIXG, SMF Type 0 became the default for recording on the instrument itself.
In the case of Disklavier recordings in SMF format, the instrument reserves channels 1 and 2 for both the piano note data as well as all of the pedal data.

remap channels will do batches. it does not clone channels but changes them. not sure why you need to clone channels, redundant information should not be necessary. DKV wants notes on channels 1 and 2 and pedal on 3 although all on channel 1 should work too???\ufffd
\ufffdThanks Spencer. \ufffdI found that if I convert Perfessor Bill's midi file to a 0, then clone channel 3 to channel 1, then clone channel 2 to 1 then it will play all the notes on my piano. \ufffdIf the speaker is turned on it will still play the higher notes on the speaker which is expected since I did not delete any channels. \ufffdI did this on the GNMidi shareware but I don't see where I can do this as a batch, which would be nice. \ufffdDoes Spencer's remap program do batches?
Thanks again for the guidance on channels.
