Re: [disklavier] Read the disklavier disk in computer

2002-01-10 by Carol Beigel

Your MPX100II is the same piano as the MX100II except that is has the Silent 
feature. It only supports MIDI format 0 files (as well as ESEQ)and 2DD 
disks.  Most of the MIDI files you find on the internet are MIDI format 1 
files, so you will have to convert them to MIDI format 0 before you can use 
them.

All you need to do is format a 2DD disk (720 k,one hole) in IBM format on 
your computer. Just drag and drop the MIDI format 0 files onto the disk and 
you should be good to go.
