Disklavier

George, yes, I usually have to move pedal info to ch 1 using a program by one of our members, Spencer. 

I have MPX 100II. I tried YAM player which reads ESeq files, but it would not play links from DEN site like Van Basco. 

Any other ideas?

If you are sending the data from a computer to an early model Disklavier, it may not handle the incremental pedaling at all with this channelization. In such a case, it is best to use the E-SEQ files from the Signature MIDI Collection since the pedals are on the standard channels for E-SEQ files. I doubt, however, that the Van Basco player will play E-SEQ files.
