Disklavier

I agree with Carl. My desktop is right near my disklavier, I play and record all MIDI files with computer, and don't bother with floppies. I even use virtual instruments on the computer to sync with disklavier piano for multitrack playback. I've transferred all MIDI files on floppies to computer HD with an external USB floppy drive - ten bucks on Amazon.

That is simply connectin a small laptop with a midi cable to the disklavier.  That way you can play files directly from the internet etc...  Also you can edit midi files etc and you don't have to worry about copying them to a usb stick to play them.  Carl

I came across a number of devices that replace the floppy drive with a unit that allows USB thumbdrives as the media.  I would need a great deal of data to determine if this would work in my DKC5R and am having great difficulty finding details about the product.
