Re: [disklavier] MIDI files

2017-02-10 by Bill Brandom

If you used a MAC to place the files on the thumbdrive, most likely the problem is caused by the invisible MAC trash files on the thumbdrive. You can't see them in your MAC, but you can see them in a PC. 

These files can cause the problem you are describing with your E3.

There is an app called Blue Harvest that can keep your external drives clean of these files.

i don't know the specifics of your DKV and what settings need to be in order to play from a USB drive. the fact that the files do show up suggests that you have it at least partly right :)  

what files are you trying to play? not all files will work on a particular instrument. as far as i know, my files will work on any DKV if the player setting are correct. if yo uahve not tried some of my files, i can send some for you to try.
