Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

Michelle, try formatting the floppy in the Disklavier, and then copy the files from your PC. Let us know if that works.

What is the “DKC” number on the front of the control unit of the piano?

Regards,
PianoBench

It also was upgraded at some point adding a CD player DCD1 which is piggybacked in via the midi and analog ports.(I think this fact will prevent me from using the Bluetooth adapter because the MIDI In on the floppy player is occupied with a cable from the MIDI Out port of the CD player)

I downloaded zip files in the the E-seq format from http://www.kuhmann.com/Yamaha.htm. <http://www.kuhmann.com/Yamaha.htm> The Debussy file had less than 60 songs. I unzipped the file and then dragged it to the external floppy drive. I'm using a 3M high density IBM formatted 1.44M B disk.  After making noise for a couple of minutes, the disk appeared to contain the files. However, when I put the floppy in the DKC100xg, the window says "cannot execute."
