Disklavier

I can’t believe anyone would want to use a computer and midi cables, when you can
use a SD Card floppy drive Emulator. LOL.

A lot of work to transfer the floppies, but when done, your whole floppy collection is
on one SD card that plays through your original disklavier controller, via the emulator
that replaces your original floppy drive. Of course you have to have some electronics
and computer knowledge to get everything working, but other than time, its pretty easy.
Hardest part is creating the floppy disk image so it will work with the disklavier.

I have an “Old” Mx-88 Disklavier. This is an upright piano and the controller sits on top
the piano. My personal preference is not to have a computer sitting there too. The
Controller is a DKC5R which uses a standard 720k 2DD floppy. All functions of the
controller work exactly the same as it you had the original floppy drive installed.
You only select the disk you want on the emulator.

Good luck with your project,

Eric

just play the piano from a computer and chose whatever you want. i can't believe that anyone is still using floppies other than to copy the data to other media.

  Ralph I found the midi to ESEQ converter you mentioned. Thank you. Any suggestions for a utility to modify the play order?

    Check to yahoo website or carolrpt.com for Disklavier utilities. There is a utility to convert midi files to Eseq. Warning:  you will need to locate 720kb floppies and another utility to create the index and play order. 

    Or, you can find a DSR100 which connects to your piano via the midi interface. This 1.44MB floppies. Read midi files and has a tone generator for orchestral accompaniment

      I googled but struck out. Any recommendations for software that can do this so I can play recently created midi songs on a 1988 MX100a?
      Thank you
