Re: [disklavier] Converting PianoDisc to Disklavier

2015-03-28 by ROBERT LEBLANC

Hi Dave, 


Although I have not personally tried any PianoDisc CDs with my Disklavier, my understanding is that not all PianoDisc CDs are compatible with the Disklavier. 


Here's a comment made by Mark Fontana from an earlier post (see URL pasted below): 


"PianoDisc CDs made after mid-2005 include a rudimentary protection mechanism that adds garbage notes to the performance in an attempt to thwart playback on competitors' systems; CDs with this protection scheme are labeled "Silent Drive Plus". I'm not sure whether Yamaha supports such CDs yet. All PianoDisc CDs dated 2004 and earlier should play fine."

I have a bunch of PianoDisc CDs that I'd love to play on my Disklavier. Is there a utility that will convert them?
