Re[2]: [disklavier] YAMAHA DKC-850 have finished production.

2019-09-07 by Spencer Chase

I am not so sure that XP really means that much in terms of the potential enjoyment of the music. A good standard MIDI performance is really good enough (if Yamaha didn't decide to dump a significant portion of the MIDi velocity range by starting at vel 30 and ending at whatever they end at) A single aspect of the music such as the resolution of velocity is not what makes a performance. I have a Live Performance LX system and its resolution is better than the XP enhancement but it is really other aspects of the performance that make the music magic when it is. I just bought a 9 ft Knabe piano that I am migrating my LX system to. Having the piano hand played after doing a bit of regulation, I am pretty much convinced that the fine piano will contribute a lot to the enjoyment of the overall experience.

If anyone is interested in "Spencer's theory of musical appreciation" I could probably give an attempt at putting it into writing.

I am not aware of any sources of XP files other than Piano-e-Competition files and files that Disklavier owners record themselves on a PRO.

Hello George,
Other than downloads from e-competition selections do you know of other sources to obtain XP/Pro songs?
Thank you.
